Discover the ease of converting milliseconds to sidereal days using our precise 'ms to d' conversion tool, crafted by Newtum to satisfy your astronomical calculation needs. Get ready to explore the cosmos with just a few clicks!
A millisecond (ms) is a unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) that equals one thousandth of a second. It is commonly used to measure time events that occur in quick succession or to track intervals in various scientific and technical fields, including computing and telecommunications.
Definition of Day siderealA sidereal day is the period of time it takes for the Earth to make one complete rotation on its axis relative to the vernal equinox. Measured as 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.0916 seconds, the sidereal day is slightly shorter than the average solar day, which is based on the Earth's rotation relative to the Sun.
| Millisecond (ms) | Day Sidereal (d) |
|---|---|
| 1 ms | 1.1574e-8 d |
| 10 ms | 1.1574e-7 d |
| 100 ms | 1.1574e-6 d |
| 1000 ms | 1.1574e-5 d |
| 10000 ms | 0.00011574 d |
| 100000 ms | 0.0011574 d |
| 1000000 ms | 0.011574 d |
| 10000000 ms | 0.11574 d |
| 100000000 ms | 1.1574 d |
| 1000000000 ms | 11.574 d |
1 ms = 1.1574e-5 sidereal days
1 sidereal day = 86400000 ms
Example 1:
convert 500 ms to sidereal days:
500 ms = 500 × 1.1574e-5 d = 5.787e-3 d
Example 2:
convert 2,000,000 ms to sidereal days:
2,000,000 ms = 2,000,000 × 1.1574e-5 d = 23.148 d
The history of converting milliseconds to sidereal days dates back to the need for precision in astronomy. As our understanding of Earth's rotation advanced, the distinction between solar time and sidereal time became critical for celestial navigation and astronomical observations. This converter is a modern tool that reflects centuries of scientific progress.
Harness the power of this Millisecond to Day sidereal Converter to unlock a universe of practical applications in the field of astronomy.
Example 1:
To convert 250 ms to sidereal days:
250 ms = 250 × 1.1574e-5 d = 2.8935e-3 d
Example 2:
To convert 1,500,000 ms to sidereal days:
1,500,000 ms = 1,500,000 × 1.1574e-5 d = 17.361 d
Q1: What is a millisecond to day sidereal converter used for?
A: It is used to convert time from milliseconds to the sidereal day time format, often for astronomical purposes.
Q2: How accurate is the conversion?
A: The conversion is highly accurate, using precise values to match the sidereal timekeeping.
Q3: Can I convert sidereal days back to milliseconds?
A: Yes, the converter can also perform the reverse calculation if needed.
