Second
The second is a unit of time representing the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom.
History/Origin
The second was originally defined in 1956 based on Earth's rotation but was later redefined in 1967 based on the vibrations of the cesium-133 atom, making it a precise atomic time standard.
Current Use
The second is used universally in science, technology, and daily life to measure time intervals, coordinate universal time (UTC), and in various applications requiring precise timekeeping.
Grad
A grad, also known as a gon, is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/400 of a full circle, or 0.9 degrees.
History/Origin
The grad was introduced in the 19th century as part of the metric system for surveying and military purposes, primarily used in Europe. It was designed to simplify calculations related to angles and bearings.
Current Use
Today, the grad is used mainly in surveying, cartography, and military applications in some countries. It is also employed in certain scientific and engineering contexts where a decimal-based angular unit is preferred.
