How did people determine directions during the night in ancient times?
Those who traveled at night were often familiar with the rising and setting times of certain stars and planets. These, unlike the Moon, seem to travel at practically the same speed anytime at night, and their locations changed with the seasons in a regular manner. Of course, the rising or setting Moon would be a good indicator of east and west.
Seconds, I have to assume. 26s is 7/15 of a minute or 0.43333 mins.
How many minutes are there in 1.9 hours?
There are 60 minutes in one hour. Therefore, 1.9 hours is equal to 1.9 x 60 = 114 minutes.
1000 metres = 1 kilometre so 250 m = 250/1000 km = 0.25 km
How many hours are in 192 minute?
60 minutes in 1 hour, so 60 x 192 minutes in 192 hours. Answer : 11 520 minutes.
How many hours is 900 minutes?
It is a division problem. There are 60 minutes in an hour. 900/60 = 15. There are 15 hours in 900 minutes.
How many minutes in a day and how many hours in a day?
The Earth takes about 23 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds to rotate exactly one time.
But in that time, we don't see the sun return exactly to the same place.
The apparent motion of the sun is what's obvious to us, so we design our clocks
to match the sun. We call each complete apparent turn of the sun "a day", and
we mark off 24 equal spaces on our clock, which we call 'hours'.
Note:
If we want to build a telescope that automatically follows the stars across the sky,
then we can't use a normal clock to run the telescope. We have to build a different
clock that turns at the rate of the Earth, and turns the telescope through a complete
rotation in 23hours 56minutes 4seconds.
A previous answer in this space related the length of a day to the need for Leap Year.
Nothing in this discussion has any connection whatsoever with Leap Years.
How many minutes are in 3.83 hours?
There are 60 minutes in one hour. Therefore, 3.83 hours is equal to 3.83 x 60 = 229.8 minutes.
How many hours and minutes in 288 minutes?
There are 60 minutes in one hour. Therefore, 288 minutes is equal to 288/60 = 4 remainder 48 or 4 hours 48 minutes.
