  2. Equation of time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_time

    As the apparent daily movement of the Sun is one revolution per day, that is 360° every 24 hours, and the Sun itself appears as a disc of about 0.5° in the sky, simple sundials can be read to a maximum accuracy of about one minute. Since the equation of time has a range of about 33 minutes, the difference between sundial time and clock time ...

    The nautical mile (nmi) was originally defined as the arc length of a minute of latitude on a spherical Earth, so the actual Earth circumference is very near 21600nmi. A minute of arc is ⁠π/10800⁠ of a radian. A second of arc, arcsecond (arcsec), or arc second, denoted by the symbol ″, [ 2 ] is ⁠1/60⁠ of an arcminute, ⁠1/3600⁠ of ...

  6. Clock angle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_angle_problem

    The time is usually based on a 12-hour clock. A method to solve such problems is to consider the rate of change of the angle in degrees per minute. The hour hand of a normal 12-hour analogue clock turns 360° in 12 hours (720 minutes) or 0.5° per minute. The minute hand rotates through 360° in 60 minutes or 6° per minute. [1]
