British Thermal Unit - 1 A British Thermal Unit is 777.9Foot Pounds, 1,054.7 Joules, 252.1calories, or 0.556 CTU. It is thequantity of heat required to raisethe temperature of one Pound ofwater one degree Fahrenheit at itsmaximum density (39.1 F.). Theabbreviation for British ThermalUnit is BTU. Therms - ?A Therm is one hundred thousandBTU, 39.29 Horsepower Hours, or29.3 Kilowa Hours. Megawa A Shake is one hundred mi ionthsof a Second. Second - =A Second is defined by the Atomi lock which is 9,192,631, 0 unitsof the Atomic Clock. The Ephemeri econd is 1/31, 6,925.9747 of thetropical The a rev-iation for the Second is sec. Minute - ?A Minute is 60 Seconds or 1/60of an Hour. Hour - AAn Hour is a space of Time thatis equal to one twenty-fourth of aDay, 60 Minutes, or 3,6 Seconds.Before the general use of time- pieces, the Hour was one-twelfthof the interval sunrise tosunset (Hour of the Day) or one-twelfth that from sunset to sun-rise (Hour of the night). Day - AA Day is the length of Time thatit takes for the Earth to rotateabout its axis one time. A solarday is the Time it takes for the sun to return to the same place inthe This is than onecomplete rotation (a Sidereal Day)since the Earth has moved in itsorbit during this time. This isthe normal calendar Day. A Day is0. 73 Sidereal Days, 24 Hours, or1, Minutes. reviationfor Day is da. Sidereal Day - 9A Sidereal Day is the length ofTime takes for Earth torotate about its axis timewith respect to the Vernal Equinoxwhich makes slightly longerthan a normal It is equalto 1. 274 Days or 24.0 Hours. k is 7 consecutive Days or1/52 of a Year. It norma y beginswith Sunday. Fortnight - A Century consecutivemean Years or 10 Decades. Mercury Year - 9A Mercury Year is 87.965 Daysor 0.241 Years. Until recently theMercurian Year was thought to besame as its day which would leaveone side facing the Sun thetime. Recently a Soviet spacecraftand Earth-based radar signals havedetermined this is not the case. Mercury Day - : A Mercury Day is 58.65 Days or0.161 Years. A Day on Mercury isone of extremes. The temperatureat noon would rise to over 400 C.then drop as much as 600 C. bymidnight. The gravity is about1/3 that of Earth. It has almostno atmosphere. Venus Year - ;A Venus Year Days or0.615 Years. The orbit of Venus iscloser to a perfect circle thanany other planet. Due to its slowrotation rate, a Year on Venus isle than 2 Venus Days long. Venus Day - < A Venus Day is 243 Days or 0.66Years. Venus has a slow backwardsDay. Its retrograde motion meansthe Sun rises in the West and setsin the East. The carbon dioxidegreenhouse atmosphere is about 91times denser than the Earth makingits surface Temperature over 450 C. The gravitational attractionis about 4/5 of Earth. Mars Year - The Celsius Temperature scaleis the MKS standard Temperatureunit. It is named for the Swedishastronomer, Anders Celsius (1701-1744) who was the first to use theCentigrade scale in 1742. It isdefined by several physical temp-eratures: Oxygen b.p.: -182.970 Water triple point: 0.01 Water b.p.: 100 Gold b.p.: 1,063.0 Absolute Zero: -273.15 Kelvin - > The Kelvin Temperature scale hasa zero point at Absolute Zero, atheoretical temperature at whichall molecular motion stops. Thisscale has the same increments asthe Centigrade scale making thefreezing point of water 273.15 K.and the boiling point 373.15 K.This unit is named after WilliamThomson (Lord Kelvin), a Britishphysicist (1842-1907). Absolute - = The Absolute Temperature scalejust another name for the KelvinTemperature scale. It is sometimesabbreviated A. For more infor-mation see `Kelvin'. Fahrenheit - : The Fahrenheit Temperature scaleis defined by two points: meltingpoint of water = 32 F. and boil-ing point of water = 212 F. Thismakes Absolute Zero -459.67 F.The zero point (0 F.) originallywas obtained by mixing equal partsby weight of snow and salt. Thefirst Mercury thermometer in glasswas made by Gabriel D. Fahrenheit(1686-1736), a German physicist in1714. Rankine - = The Rankine Temperature scale isan absolute Temperature scale thatuses the same increments as theFahrenheit scale. Thus AbsoluteZero is 0 R. with the freezingpoint of water 491.67 R. and theboiling point 671.67 R. It wasdevised by the Scandanavian engin-eer and physicist, William J. M.Rankine in 1872. Reaumur - ? The Reaumur Temperature scalewas devised by Antoine Ferchaultde R aumur (1683-1757), a Frenchphysicist and naturalist, who alsoconstructed the first thermometerusing alcohol in 1731. The zeropoint corresponds to melting iceand 80 R. corresponds to boilingwater. This is still in generaluse in Teutonic countries.
