About these units
Millisecond (ms)
A millisecond is one thousandth of a second (10⁻³ s) and is widely used in computing, acoustics, engineering, human physiology, and real-time data processing. Human reaction times fall roughly between 100–300 milliseconds, making the ms an intuitive unit for expressing biological responsiveness. Musicians and audio engineers rely on milliseconds to define echo delays, reverb times, and audio compression parameters. In computing and network communications, milliseconds determine response latency, server performance, and frame times in video rendering. Systems such as financial trading, multiplayer gaming, and robotics depend heavily on millisecond-scale precision. The millisecond bridges human perceptual limits and the faster, computation-driven processes that shape modern technology.
Day (Sidereal) (d (sidereal))
A sidereal day is the time Earth takes to rotate exactly 360 degrees relative to the distant stars—about 23 hours, 56 minutes, 4 seconds. In contrast, the solar day is slightly longer because Earth advances in its orbit each day and must rotate extra degrees for the Sun to appear in the same position in the sky. Sidereal days are fundamental to astronomy: telescopes use sidereal time to track stars, which appear in the same position in the sky at the same sidereal moment each night. This unit anchors astronomical observation to the cosmos rather than to the Sun.
