What are sidereal and Julian

Sidereal refers to the time it takes for the Earth to complete one full orbit around the Sun relative to the fixed stars. This period is approximately 365.25636 days, longer than the solar year due to the precession of the equinoxes.

The Julian year is a time unit defined as exactly 365.25 days of 86,400 SI seconds each. The term originates from the Julian calendar, established by Julius Caesar in 45 BCE, which employed a leap year system.

History of sidereal and Julian

The concept of converting between sidereal and Julian years stems from the need to reconcile different measurements of time used in astronomy. The sidereal year, based on the Earth's orbit relative to the stars, and the Julian year, used in the Julian calendar system, have distinct durations. Historically, astronomers have converted between these to maintain accurate calendars and astronomical predictions.
