Embark on a journey of cosmic time conversion with our Second sidereal to Hour sidereal Converter, crafted by Newtum. Unleash the curiosity of tracking celestial objects as you convert with ease.
A second is the base unit of time in the International System of Units (SI). Traditionally defined as 1/86,400 of a mean solar day, a second is the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom.
Definition of HourAn hour is a unit of time conventionally reckoned as 1/24 of a day and scientifically reckoned as 3,599–3,601 seconds, depending on conditions. The hour has a deep historical background dating far back to the ancient civilizations that divided the day into smaller parts.
| Second Sidereal (s) | Hour Sidereal (h) |
|---|---|
| 1 s | 0.000277778 h |
| 30 s | 0.00833333 h |
| 60 s | 0.0166667 h |
| 360 s | 0.1 h |
| 720 s | 0.2 h |
| 1800 s | 0.5 h |
| 3600 s | 1 h |
| 5400 s | 1.5 h |
| 7200 s | 2 h |
| 9000 s | 2.5 h |
1 sidereal second = 0.000277778 sidereal hours
1 sidereal hour = 3,600 sidereal seconds
Example 1:
Convert 600 sidereal seconds to sidereal hours:
600 s = 600 × 0.000277778 h = 0.166667 h
Example 2:
Convert 900 sidereal seconds to sidereal hours:
900 s = 900 × 0.000277778 h = 0.25 h
The concept of a sidereal second is derived from the sidereal day, which is the time it takes for the Earth to rotate once relative to the fixed stars. Historically, astronomers used this measurement for celestial tracking and navigation, leading to the development of sidereal timekeeping. The Second sidereal to Hour sidereal Converter is a modern tool that continues this tradition by enabling precise conversions from seconds to hours based on sidereal time.
Explore the realms of astronomy and space exploration with our Second sidereal to Hour sidereal Converter, uncovering its real-life applications.
Example 1:
Convert 1200 sidereal seconds to sidereal hours:
1200 s = 1200 × 0.000277778 h = 0.333333 h
Example 2:
Convert 4500 sidereal seconds to sidereal hours:
4500 s = 4500 × 0.000277778 h = 1.25 h
