What are Day sidereal and Shake

A Day sidereal, or sidereal day, is a time measurement based on Earth's rotation relative to distant celestial objects, excluding the Sun. It's the time taken for Earth to complete one rotation on its axis, which is approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.0916 seconds. This differs from the solar day, the basis for our 24-hour day, because it measures rotation relative to the Sun.

A shake is a unit of time used primarily in nuclear physics, representing 10 nanoseconds, or 10^-8 seconds. It is derived from the expression 'two shakes of a lamb's tail', which indicates a very short time interval. Shakes are used to measure the time between particles being released and subsequent reactions, especially in chain reactions within nuclear weapons.
