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 FortnightA 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.
| Minute Sidereal (min s) | Fortnight (fn) |
|---|---|
| 1 min s | 0.00098 fn |
| 5 min s | 0.0049 fn |
| 10 min s | 0.0098 fn |
| 50 min s | 0.049 fn |
| 100 min s | 0.098 fn |
| 500 min s | 0.49 fn |
| 1000 min s | 0.98 fn |
| 5000 min s | 4.9 fn |
| 10000 min s | 9.8 fn |
| 50000 min s | 49 fn |
1 min s = 0.00098 fn
1 fn = 1022.689 min s
Example 1:
convert 60 min s to fn:
60 min s = 60 × 0.00098 fn = 0.0588 fn
Example 2:
convert 1440 min s to fn:
1440 min s = 1440 × 0.00098 fn = 1.4112 fn
The concept of converting between sidereal minutes and fortnights might not have a significant history, as these two units are rarely compared. However, the need for precise time measurements in astronomy and the practicality of fortnights in pre-modern societies led to the development of tools like our Minute Sidereal to Fortnight Converter.
Explore the fascinating applications of converting Minute Sidereal to Fortnight in various real-world scenarios.
Example 1:
To find out how many fortnights are in 1000 minute sidereal (min s):
1000 min s = 1000 × 0.00098 fn = 0.98 fn
Example 2:
To convert 20000 minute sidereal (min s) to fortnights (fn):
20000 min s = 20000 × 0.00098 fn = 19.6 fn
