What are Minute sidereal and Fortnight

Definition of Minute sidereal

A minute sidereal is a time measurement unit used in astronomy, representing the time it takes for the Earth to rotate about 0.986 degrees of sidereal rotation. This is approximately 59.836 seconds in solar time. It is shorter than a standard minute because it is measured relative to distant stars rather than the Sun.

Definition of Fortnight

A fortnight is a traditional unit of time that equates to 14 days or two weeks. The term originates from the Old English phrase 'feowertyne niht', meaning 'fourteen nights'. In many cultures, the fortnight has been a standard way to discuss dates and times in terms of weeks rather than days.
