Embark on a journey through time with our Shake to Second Sidereal Converter, meticulously crafted by Newtum to ensure precise astronomical time measurements.
A 'shake' is an informal unit of time equal to 10 nanoseconds, or 10 billionths of a second. It originated within nuclear physics to measure the time it takes for particles to travel a short distance, typically within a nuclear reaction.
Definition of Second siderealA 'second sidereal' is a time unit used in astronomy, defined as 1/86,164 of a sidereal day. It measures the time it takes for the Earth to rotate about its axis relative to the stars, which is slightly shorter than a solar second.
| Shake | Second Sidereal |
|---|---|
| 1 | 1.16e-8 |
| 10 | 1.16e-7 |
| 100 | 1.16e-6 |
| 1,000 | 1.16e-5 |
| 10,000 | 0.000116 |
| 100,000 | 0.00116 |
| 1,000,000 | 0.0116 |
| 10,000,000 | 0.116 |
| 100,000,000 | 1.16 |
| 1,000,000,000 | 11.6 |
1 shake = 1.16e-8 second sidereal
10 shakes = 1.16e-7 second sidereal
Example 1:
convert 50 shakes to second sidereal:
50 shakes = 50 × 1.16e-8 second sidereal = 5.8e-7 second sidereal
Example 2:
convert 250,000 shakes to second sidereal:
250,000 shakes = 250,000 × 1.16e-8 second sidereal = 0.0029 second sidereal
The concept of 'shake' emerged in the mid-20th century, primarily used in nuclear physics. The 'Shake to Second Sidereal Converter' represents a marriage of atomic timescales and stellar observations, aiding in precise astronomical calculations and research.
Discover how the Shake to Second Sidereal Converter illuminates the complexities of time measurement in the cosmos.
Example 1:
Convert 200 shakes to second sidereal:
200 shakes = 200 × 1.16e-8 second sidereal = 2.32e-6 second sidereal
Example 2:
Convert 5,000,000 shakes to second sidereal:
5,000,000 shakes = 5,000,000 × 1.16e-8 second sidereal = 0.058 second sidereal
