Q

What is the equivalent of 2? 52' in time units?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Relationship between degrees of arc and time on the celestial sphere • Conversion steps: degrees → minutes of arc → time (minutes and seconds) • Key fact: 360° of arc corresponds to 24 hours of time

💭 Think About

• Start from 360° equals 24 hours. What time does 1° of arc represent? • Once you know the time for 1°, how many minutes of time is 2°? • What is the time for 1' (one minute) of arc, and how many of those are in 52'? Then add the results together.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you first find the time for 1° of arc before doing any multiplication. • Convert the 52' of arc separately into time, then add it to the time for 2°. • Double‑check that your final answer is in minutes and seconds of time, not in degrees or minutes of arc.
