How to Convert Minute (Sidereal) to Attosecond
To convert sidereal minutes to solar seconds: multiply by 59.836. To solar minutes: multiply by 0.99727.
1 sidereal minute = 59.836 solar seconds. 60 sidereal minutes = 1 sidereal hour.
For example, 1 Minute (Sidereal) (min (Sid)) = 5.983617e+19 Attosecond (as).

About Minute (Sidereal) (min (Sid))
Definition
The sidereal minute is 1/60 of a sidereal hour — approximately 59.836 seconds in solar time.
Mathematical Relationship
1 sidereal minute = 59.836 solar seconds. 60 sidereal minutes = 1 sidereal hour.
Conversion Formula
To convert sidereal minutes to solar seconds: multiply by 59.836. To solar minutes: multiply by 0.99727.
Practical Applications
Precise observation timing, transit event recording, and telescope tracking rate calibration.
Interesting Facts
A sidereal minute is about 0.164 seconds shorter than a solar minute — small but significant over an observing session.
Common Mistakes
Using solar minutes when sidereal minutes are required in astronomical calculations — the error accumulates over time.
Educational Tips
Sidereal minutes/seconds are just slightly shorter than their solar counterparts. The ratio is always ~0.99727.
About Attosecond (as)
Definition
The attosecond is a unit of time equal to 10⁻¹⁸ seconds — one quintillionth of a second.
Mathematical Relationship
1 as = 10⁻¹⁸ s = 0.001 fs. Light travels only about 0.3 nm (the width of a water molecule) in one attosecond.
Conversion Formula
To convert as to seconds: multiply by 10⁻¹⁸. To convert as to femtoseconds: divide by 1,000.
Practical Applications
No everyday applications yet. Research applications include tracking electron motion and developing future ultrafast electronics.
Interesting Facts
An attosecond is to one second as one second is to about 31.7 billion years — roughly twice the age of the universe.
Common Mistakes
Confusing 'as' (attosecond) with the English word 'as'. In scientific texts, context and formatting prevent ambiguity.
Educational Tips
The 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded for attosecond pulse generation — this field is at the frontier of ultrafast science.
