Let's convert Sidereal Seconds (s-sr) to Sidereal Minutes (min-sr)

What is the Sidereal Second?

The sidereal second is a unit of time used by astronomers and is derived from the SI unit system. We have used the symbol s-sr.

1 sidereal second is 1/60 of a sidereal minute. This is derived ultimately from the sidereal day which is the time taken (in solar seconds) for the Earth to complete one rotation with respect to a distant star or constellation.

Like with normal seconds, minutes, hours and days, there are still 60 x 60 x 24 seconds in a day, but the day itself is approximately 23 h 56 min and 4.1 s in (normal) seconds.

What is the Sidereal Minute?

The sidereal minute is a unit of time used by astronomers and is derived from the SI unit system. We have used the symbol m-sr.

1 sidereal minute is made up of 60 sidereal seconds. This is derived ultimately from the sidereal day which is the time taken (in solar seconds) for the Earth to complete one rotation with respect to a distant star or constellation.
