Back before Astronomy was well-understood, people used the "Apparent" motion of the Sun across the sky as the measure of the length of the day. Now that we know better, we measure the length of a day as one complete rotation of the Earth. This is known as a sidereal day (sigh-deer-ee-al) which is approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes, 4.09 seconds, corresponding to the time it takes for the Earth to complete one rotation with reference to the vernal equinox.

What is the sunshine recorder used to measure?
The sunshine recorder is used to measure sunlight used in a day.
For what purpose would one use a goniometer?
A goniometer is a device used to measure the range of motion in a joint. Medical professionals use them to determine the range of motion in human joints, while they can also be used to measure angles in inanimate objects.
What is meant by sensor?
A sensor is a device that is used to measure something and record it. It can measure heat, sound, light, frequency, or motion and respond to it.
When you measure an object's resistance to motion you must measure what?
Inertia is an objects resistance to change in motion. Frictional forces resist motion.
What is used to absorb the twisting motion of a load line?
Torque is used to absorb the twisting motion of a load line. Torque is used to measure how much force the object being twisted can rotate on its axis.
