Staffing Levels Per Resident per Day. Medicare determines the expected staffing time per resident per day depending on level of care the residents of The Homestead Of Denison require. It is important to compare the reported time to expected time for a single facility instead of comparing the amount of time per resident of two facilities. Learn why.
Sols Edit. The term sol is used by planetary astronomers to refer to the duration of a solar day on Mars. A mean Martian solar day, or sol, is 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35.244 seconds. When a spacecraft lander begins operations on Mars, the passing Martian days (sols) are tracked using a simple numerical count.
A solar day is the time it takes for the Earth to make one full rotation on its axis and end up in the same position relative to the Sun. Solar days are about four minutes longer than sidereal days because the Earth is simultaneously traveling about one degree around the Sun every day, so it has to rotate a bit more to compensate.
