About these units

Minute (min)

A minute is equal to 60 seconds, a remnant of the ancient Babylonian base-60 (sexagesimal) numeral system. Civilizations such as the Sumerians and Babylonians divided circles, geometry, and time into 60-based increments, an elegant system that persists today in minutes and seconds. Minutes serve as a comfortable human-scale unit—long enough to measure meaningful intervals (such as short tasks or durations in sports) yet short enough to maintain precision in technical contexts. Meteorologists, musicians, aviators, and engineers still rely heavily on minutes because they allow intuitive expression of small-to-medium time spans. Despite its ancient origin, the minute remains an indispensable unit in modern life, reflecting our deep cultural inheritance from early mathematical civilizations.

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.
