Minutes (′) and seconds (″) of arc are also used in cartography and navigation. At sea level one minute of arc along the equator equals exactly one geographical mile (not to be confused with international mile or statute mile) along the Earth's equator or approximately one nautical mile (1,852 metres; 1.151 miles).

The balance of 0.25 days is a quarter of a day and so, 3600 Āryabhaṭan years exactly before the sunrise of March 21 would fall at the midnight of February 17–18. Now, regarding the year, it may be noted that historians have never included a year zero and so 3600 years before 499 CE would be 3102 BCE.
World map showing the areas of Earth receiving daylight around 13:00 UTC in April. Daylight is the combination of all direct and indirect sunlight during the daytime.This includes direct sunlight, diffuse sky radiation, and (often) both of these reflected by Earth and terrestrial objects, like landforms and buildings.
In the year −2000 (2001 BCE) the May maximum was +12 minutes and a couple seconds while the November maximum was just less than 10 minutes. The secular change is evident when one compares a current graph of the equation of time (see below) with one from 2000 years ago, e.g., one constructed from the data of Ptolemy.
For 6/6 = 1.0 acuity, the size of a letter on the Snellen chart or Landolt C chart is a visual angle of 5 arc minutes (1 arc min = 1/60 of a degree), which is a 43 point font at 20 feet. [10] By the design of a typical optotype (like a Snellen E or a Landolt C), the critical gap that needs to be resolved is 1/5 this value, i.e., 1 arc min.
[4] [5] [6] The 2019 revision of the SI now defines the kelvin in terms of energy by setting the Boltzmann constant to exactly 1.380 649 × 10 −23 joules per kelvin; [4] every 1 K change of thermodynamic temperature corresponds to a thermal energy change of exactly 1.380 649 × 10 −23 J or, with SI prefix we can finally affirm that [7]: 1 K ...
Events that take place exactly 1 year after the 2015 "Santa Pac" episode. Pac meets his parents on a "top-secret" mission, on another celebration of the holiday Berry Day. Pac chooses to hide them from his friends, who eventually become suspicious that something is wrong.
The February 15–20, 2021 North American winter storm, also unofficially referred to as Winter Storm Viola, or to some as simply The North Texas Freeze, was a significant and widespread snow and ice storm across much of the United States, Northern Mexico, and Southern Canada.
