  2. Clock angle problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_angle_problem

    The angle is typically measured in degrees from the mark of number 12 clockwise. The time is usually based on a 12-hour clock. A method to solve such problems is to consider the rate of change of the angle in degrees per minute. The hour hand of a normal 12-hour analogue clock turns 360° in 12 hours (720 minutes) or 0.5° per minute.

    The second-order digit counted the degrees that had gone by in the hour, notwithstanding the fact that its number of degrees were seasonal. The third and last order digit divided the time-degree into 60 parts (the gar), which appears to be sexagesimal. In modern time it is 4 seconds. There are not 60 time-degrees in an hour, nor 60 hours in a day.

    The average of the true solar day during the course of an entire year is the mean solar day, which contains 86,400 mean solar seconds. Currently, each of these seconds is slightly longer than an SI second because Earth's mean solar day is now slightly longer than it was during the 19th century due to tidal friction. The average length of the ...
