What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms values from shake, a very small informal time unit used mainly in nuclear physics, to the sidereal second, a unit based on Earth's rotation relative to the fixed stars, essential in astronomy and space sciences.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the time value in shakes.
  • Select 'shake' as the input unit and 'second (sidereal)' as the output unit.
  • Click convert to get the equivalent time in sidereal seconds.

Key Features

  • Converts from shake (10 nanoseconds) to second (sidereal).
  • Supports precise bridging between nuclear physics timing and astronomical time standards.
  • Browser-based and easy to use for high-precision interdisciplinary timing conversions.

Examples

  • 5 shakes = 5 × 1.0027379155284e-8 = 5.013689577642e-8 second (sidereal)
  • 100 shakes = 100 × 1.0027379155284e-8 = 1.0027379155284e-6 second (sidereal)

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying event timing in nuclear detonation and reactor physics experiments.
  • Calculating sidereal time for astronomical coordination and telescope tracking.
  • Supporting space-flight attitude control and celestial navigation with sidereal time.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use this converter for theoretical or scientific applications requiring high timing precision.
  • Remember that shakes are informal and not an SI standard unit.
  • Account for the small difference between sidereal seconds and international SI seconds in precise work.

Limitations

  • Shakes are informal and extremely small, lacking official SI standardization.
  • Sidereal seconds are slightly different from SI seconds, affecting precise conversions.
  • This tool suits mainly high-precision scientific or astronomical contexts, not general timing.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is a sidereal second?
A sidereal second is 1/86400 of a sidereal day, representing Earth's rotation relative to fixed stars, used in astronomy and related fields.

Why convert shakes to sidereal seconds?
This conversion relates extremely short nuclear timing intervals to sidereal time used in astronomy and space sciences, bridging different precision domains.

Key Terminology

Shake
An informal time unit equal to 10 nanoseconds, used primarily in nuclear physics for very short interval measurements.
Second (sidereal)
A unit of time equal to 1/86400 of a sidereal day, representing Earth’s rotation relative to distant stars.
Sidereal Day
The period of Earth's rotation measured relative to fixed stars or vernal equinox, different from the solar day.
