What are Month and Minute sidereal

Definition of Month

A month is a unit of time traditionally based on the natural period related to the motion of the Moon. It constitutes roughly one twelfth of a year. There are various types of months used in calendars around the world, including lunar months, which are based on the phases of the Moon, and solar months, which are related to the position of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun. The month is a widely used unit to measure longer periods of time or to reference particular events in the past or future.

Definition of Minute sidereal

A minute sidereal is a measurement of time based on the Earth's rotation relative to the fixed stars. It is defined as 1/60th of a sidereal hour, and it is approximately four seconds shorter than a standard minute. It is used in astronomy to measure time by the apparent movement of the stars due to Earth's rotation. One sidereal day is made up of 24 sidereal hours, which is slightly shorter than a solar day, the basis for our 24-hour day.
