What are Minute and Decade

A 'Minute' is a unit of time, traditionally defined as one-sixtieth of an hour or sixty seconds. It is also used in angle measurement, where it is one-sixtieth of a degree. In the context of sidereal time, a sidereal minute is used to measure time with respect to the Earth's rotation relative to the stars, which is slightly faster than solar time.

A 'Decade' refers to a period of ten years. The term is derived from the Greek word 'dekas', which means a group of ten. In history, decades are often used as a measure to discuss periods with distinct themes or events, such as the Roaring Twenties or the Swinging Sixties.
