What is the Sidereal Day?

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

Sidereal literally means "of the stars". Otherwise known as the "orbital period", it defines the time period taken for two point masses to orbit each other.

On Earth, we used the solar day to regularise time and this represents the period taken to orbit the sun. The sidereal day (or stellar day) is the time taken for the earth to rotate with respect to a distant star and equals 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4.0905 seconds (or 86164.1 s, 23.934 h).

What is the Hour?

The hour is a unit of time and is a multiple of an SI base unit with the symbol hr.

There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour. Consequently, there are 3600 seconds in an hour.

In a mean solar day, there are 24 hours.

Originally in the Middle East, the hour was defined as 1/12 of the day or night time. However, seasonal factors clearly affected all of these definitions and an average is used today to normalise and allow calculations.
