What is a sidereal minute?

A sidereal minute is 1/60 of a sidereal hour, used in astronomy to measure Earth's rotation relative to fixed stars, approximately equal to 59.836 seconds of mean solar time.

What does the unit shake represent?

A shake is an informal time unit equal to 10 nanoseconds, mainly used in nuclear physics and engineering to describe very short time intervals.

Why convert minute (sidereal) to shake?

Converting from minute (sidereal) to shake helps express astronomical time units as extremely fine intervals relevant in nuclear physics and ultrafast experimental timing.

What Is This Tool?

This tool lets you convert time measurements from minute (sidereal), an astronomical time unit based on Earth's rotation relative to fixed stars, into shake, a very brief interval used mainly in nuclear physics and experimental science for ultrafast timing.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in minute (sidereal) you want to convert
Select minute (sidereal) as the input unit and shake as the target unit
Click convert to see the equivalent time in shakes
Use the output to interpret sidereal time in contexts requiring nanosecond scale resolution

Key Features

Converts minute (sidereal) to shake for precise time interval comparison
Browser-based and easy to use with quick calculations
Supports scientific and engineering applications in astronomy and nuclear physics

Examples

2 minute (sidereal) converts to approximately 11967234722.2222 shake
0.5 minute (sidereal) converts to about 2991808680.55555 shake

Common Use Cases

Displaying local sidereal time for telescope tracking and astronomical observations
Defining event timing and delays in nuclear detonation and reactor physics
Measuring neutron lifetimes and transient events in experimental physics
Expressing celestial coordinates in sidereal time for star catalogs
Analyzing pulse durations in high-speed electronics and physics experiments

Tips & Best Practices

Understand the difference between sidereal time and solar time before using conversions
Be cautious with very large numbers resulting from conversion due to unit scale differences
Use this tool primarily for specialized scientific and engineering purposes
Confirm the context of use since shake is an informal and context-specific unit
Carefully interpret results when integrating with other time measurements

Limitations

Shake is an informal unit and not internationally standardized
Sidereal time relates to Earth's rotation relative to stars, differing from solar time units
Conversion yields extremely large numbers that may be impractical for everyday use
