What are Minute and Day

A minute is a unit of time traditionally reckoned as 1/60th of an hour, or 60 seconds. In the context of sidereal time, a sidereal minute is 1/60th of a sidereal hour, slightly shorter than a standard minute due to Earth's rotation relative to distant stars, not the sun.

A day is a unit of time corresponding to one complete rotation of Earth on its axis. Typically, this is considered to be 24 hours. However, a sidereal day is slightly shorter, encompassing the time it takes for Earth to rotate once relative to the background stars, which is about 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds in standard time.

History of Minute and Day

The concept of sidereal time dates back to ancient astronomers, who observed the fixed stars to determine the length of a sidereal day. The Minute sidereal to Day sidereal Converter is a modern tool that bridges ancient understanding with today's need for precision in astronomy and timekeeping.
