About these units
Microsecond (µs)
A microsecond equals one millionth of a second (10⁻⁶ s) and belongs to the realm of electronics, high-speed computation, radar systems, and signal processing. In digital electronics, microseconds describe the switching times of microcontrollers, communication baud rates, and pulse-width modulation (PWM) frequencies. Flash memory access times, database latency, and embedded systems all use µs resolution. In aviation and radar, microseconds represent the time it takes for radio waves to travel hundreds of meters. In biology, neural synapse firing intervals and muscle micro-movements occur at microsecond timescales. The microsecond is essential for understanding everything from machine communication to the fast nuances of living organisms.
Minute (Sidereal) (min (sidereal))
A sidereal minute is 1/60 of a sidereal hour, lasting about 59.836 seconds in solar time. This unit refines astronomical timekeeping, enabling precise tracking of star transits, celestial navigation, and long-exposure astrophotography. Sidereal minutes illustrate how deeply astronomical timing differs from civil timekeeping, demonstrating the challenges of aligning human calendars with cosmic cycles.
