What is a minute (sidereal)?

A minute (sidereal) is one-sixtieth of a sidereal hour used in astronomy to measure Earth's rotation relative to fixed stars.

Why convert minute (sidereal) to milliseconds?

Converting to milliseconds allows relating astronomical sidereal time to precise standard time intervals used in scientific instruments and digital systems.

Is this conversion useful outside astronomy?

Generally, this conversion is specific to astronomical and scientific applications involving sidereal timing and may not suit other time measurement needs.
