Right Ascension and Declination is a coordinate system for objects in the sky, and is analogous to longitude and latitude coordinates, respectively, for objects on Earth. Right ascension (RA) coordinates are given in hours (h), minutes (m), and seconds (s). Declination (DEC) coordinates are given in degrees (°), arcminutes ('), and arcseconds ("). Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky. Its RA and DEC coordinates are 6h 45 m 7.96 s and -16° 44' 78.6". Using unit conversion, find the RA coordinate only in hours and round the coordinate to 5 significant figures.
