A sidereal hour is a timekeeping unit that represents 1/24th of a sidereal day. This measurement is based on the Earth's rate of rotation measured relative to the fixed stars rather than the Sun. It is approximately four minutes shorter than the standard solar hour used in everyday life.

A leap year is a calendar year that contains an additional day added to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical year or seasonal year.
