What are SR and SS in Astronomy?

  • Thread starter Tomfmal

In summary, SR and SS in Astronomy refer to the concepts of Standard of Rest and Solar System respectively. Standard of Rest is a reference frame used to measure the motion of objects in space, while Solar System refers to the collection of planets, moons, and other celestial bodies that orbit the Sun. Both of these concepts play crucial roles in understanding the movements and interactions of objects in our universe.

My name is Thomas and I am a watch face designer. Astronomy is not my strong suit but I'm trying to incorporate some cool things into my designs. I have joined this forum for helpful information. I posted my 1st question about SR and SS.
Good day!

BTW, I also fixed up your thread title on your thread start. "SR" commonly is used for Special Relativity in the technical forums, and one seldom see Stainless Steel and Special Relativity discussed in the same thread. Perhaps they are common shorthand for the "Sunrise" and "Sunset" as you intended, but I hadn't seen that before. :wink:

Yes it was short for Sunrise and Sunset, thanks.
