What are Minute sidereal and Picosecond

Definition of Minute sidereal

A Minute Sidereal, also known as a sidereal minute, is a unit of time used in astronomy. It is defined as 1/60th of a Sidereal hour, and it is approximately 59.5 seconds long. This measurement is based on the time it takes for the Earth to rotate relative to the vernal equinox, which is slightly faster than the solar day that our regular timekeeping is based upon. As such, the Minute Sidereal is crucial in celestial navigation and astrophysics.

Definition of Picosecond

A Picosecond is an incredibly small unit of time in the metric system, equating to one trillionth (1/1,000,000,000,000) of a second. This unit of time is so minute that it is used to measure the time intervals of events in the field of photonics, the movement of atoms and molecules, and the switching speeds of electronics. Its name is derived from the prefix 'pico-', which denotes a factor of 10^-12 in the metric system.

Conversion of Minute sidereal to Picosecond

1 min s = 5.983617 x 10^13 ps
1 ps = 1.671 x 10^-14 min s

Example 1:
Convert 2 min s to ps:
2 min s = 2 x 5.983617 x 10^13 ps = 1.196723 x 10^14 ps

Example 2:
Convert 0.5 min s to ps:
0.5 min s = 0.5 x 5.983617 x 10^13 ps = 2.991808 x 10^13 ps
