What is a minute (sidereal)?

A minute (sidereal) is 1/60 of a sidereal hour, measuring Earth's rotation relative to fixed stars, approximately equal to 59.836 seconds of mean solar time.

What is a picosecond [ps]?

A picosecond is one trillionth of a second (10⁻¹² seconds), used for measuring ultra-short time intervals in physical, chemical, and electronic processes.

Why convert from minute (sidereal) to picoseconds?

This conversion connects astronomical sidereal time measurements with the extremely precise intervals needed for ultrafast scientific experiments and electronic applications.
