Timing devices In the past, the rotation of the Earth about its axis defines the day, which is a basic unit of time. The ever-changing position of the Sun (sunrise and sunset) acted as a simple and convenient clock. The revolution of the Earth about the Sun defines the length of a year. However, the Earth's rotation and revolution are not as regular as were once assumed. As a result, the research and development of more uniform and accurate timing device have never stopped. Right now, the atomic (cesium) clock is the most accurate timing device in the world. A cesium atom kept in a constant state will always precisely and stably make 9192 631 770 complete cycles of vibration per second. By counting each vibration, the clock is more precise than the rotation of the Earth. Cesium clocks are accurate to two nanoseconds (2 109 s) a day or one second every 1400 000 years. Much of modern life depends on precise timekeeping. For example, safe and accurate navigation of ships and aeroplanes requires timely and correct location of their positions; this relies on the punctual arrival of positioning signals from four Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites. Extremely accurate timekeeping is required, since the signals (microwaves) travel at the speed of light (3 108 m s1), any tiny error in the time signal could result in incomplete information. (a) Give two reasons why cesium clock is much more accurate than the Earth's rotation in measuring time.
