    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit_of_time

    Subdivisions of the day include the hour (1/24 of a day), which is further subdivided into minutes and seconds. The second is the international standard unit (SI unit) for science. Celestial sphere-based: as in sidereal time, where the apparent movement of the stars and constellations across the sky is used to calculate the length of a year.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidereal_time

    The March equinox itself precesses slowly westward relative to the fixed stars, completing one revolution in about 25,800 years, so the misnamed "sidereal" day ("sidereal" is derived from the Latin sidus meaning "star") is 0.0084 seconds shorter than the stellar day, Earth's actual period of rotation relative to the fixed stars.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_of_time

    In the year −2000 (2001 BCE) the May maximum was +12 minutes and a couple seconds while the November maximum was just less than 10 minutes. The secular change is evident when one compares a current graph of the equation of time (see below) with one from 2000 years ago, e.g., one constructed from the data of Ptolemy.

    A Gregorian year, which takes into account the 100 vs. 400 leap year exception rule of the Gregorian calendar, is 365.2425 days (the average length of a year over a 400–year cycle), resulting in 0.1 years being a period of 36.52425 days (3 155 695.2 seconds; 36 days, 12 hours, 34 minutes, 55.2 seconds).

    A formula for determining the year of the Julian Period given its character involving three four-digit numbers was published by Jacques de Billy in 1665 in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society (its first year). [32] John F. W. Herschel gave the same formula using slightly different wording in his 1849 Outlines of Astronomy. [33]

    Formula weight calculator: The input is a chemical molecular formula, using the periodic-table symbols and notation, and there is a button to work out the percentages of its constituents. Astronomical calculator : The input is a date and one or multiple celestial bodies (usually the sun, moon, planets, planetoids or comets).

  9. Sidereal year - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidereal_year

    The sidereal year is 20 min 24.5 s longer than the mean tropical year at J2000.0 (365.242 190 402 ephemeris days). [1] At present, the rate of axial precession corresponds to a period of 25,772 years, [3] so sidereal year is longer than tropical year by 1,224.5 seconds (20 min 24.5 s, ~365.24219*86400/25772).
