time measurement
Time can be measured astronomically with respect to the Sun, when it is known as solar time, or with respect to the stars, when it is known as sidereal time. Universal Time (or Greenwich Mean Time) is a world timekeeping standard used in astronomical observations. When carrying calculating orbital motions with the Solar System, however, astronomers switch to a system known as dynamical time.
