In Astronomy and in the Computation of Time. the Sexagesimal System is used<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Base60 – The Old Shashtiamsa Method<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IN Computation of Time<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Base 60 – 60 seconds make 1 minute, 60 minutes maketh an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Astroomy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Circle or an Ellipse is 360 degrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

60 seconds of arc make 1 minute, 60 minutes maketh a degree. 30 degrees<\/p>\n\n\n\n

maketh a Zodiacal Sign, Rasi and 360 degrees of Arc maketh the Zodiac !<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sexagesimal Division of a Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Indian Astronomy & Maths, a day is divided by 60 parts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each part is called a Nadi or Nazhika. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sign Deg Min Sec are known is Sanskrit as<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rasi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bhaga<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kala<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vikala<\/p>\n\n\n\n

60 vikalas , secs, maketh a Kala, 1 minute of Arc\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n

60 Kalas, mins, maketh a Bhaga, one Degree of Arc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30 Bhagas, degrees maketh a Sign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12 Bhagas constitute the Zodiac, the Bha Chakra, the Jyotis Chakra, the Kala Chakra<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Divisions of the Zodiac<\/p>\n\n\n\n

360\/12 = 30 = Rasi<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30\/2 = 15 = Hora<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30\/3 = 10, Drekkana, Decanate<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30\/8 = 3.75 , Akshamsa<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30\/9 = 3.33, Navamsa<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30\/10, = Dasamsa<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30\/12 = Dwadasama<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30\/16 = Shodasamsa<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30\/30 = Trimsamsa<\/p>\n\n\n\n

30\/60 = Shashtiamsa<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Western talks in millons. The Oriental talks in lakhs and crores. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Million uses the Base 1000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 million = 1000 * 1000 = 1000 ^2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 billion = 1000^ 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n
