List of tallest buildings - wikipedia List of tallest buildings Jump to : navigation , search The 828 - metre ( 2,717 ft ) tall Burj Khalifa in Dubai has been the world 's tallest building since 2008 . The Burj Khalifa has been classified as Megatall . Schematic of the tallest buildings in the world in 2015 . This list of tallest buildings in the world ranks skyscrapers by height . Only buildings with continuously occupiable floors are included , thus non-building structures , including towers , are not included . ( See List of tallest buildings and structures . ) Contents ( hide ) 1 Ranking criteria and alternatives 2 Tallest buildings in the world ( 350 m+ ) 3 Gallery 4 Alternative measurements 4.1 Height to pinnacle ( highest point ) 4.2 Height to occupied floor 5 Buildings under construction 6 List by continent 7 See also 8 Notes 9 References 10 External links Ranking criteria and alternatives The international non-profit organization Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat ( CTBUH ) was formed in 1969 and announces the title of `` The World 's Tallest Building '' and sets the standards by which buildings are measured . It maintains a list of the 100 tallest completed buildings in the world . The organization currently ranks Burj Khalifa in Dubai as the tallest at 828 m ( 2,717 ft ) . The CTBUH only recognizes buildings that are complete however , and some buildings included within the lists in this article are not considered finished by the CTBUH . In 1996 , as a response to the dispute as to whether the Petronas Towers or the Sears Tower was taller , the council listed and ranked buildings in four categories : height to structural or architectural top ; height to floor of highest occupied floor ; height to top of roof ( removed as category in November 2009 ) ; and height to top of any part of the building . Spires are considered integral parts of the architectural design of buildings , to which changes would substantially change the appearance and design of the building , whereas antennas may be added or removed without such consequences . The Petronas Towers , with their spires , are thus ranked higher than the Willis Tower ( formerly the Sears Tower ) with its antennas , despite the Petronas Towers ' lower roofs and lower highest point . Until 1996 , the world 's tallest building was defined by the height to the top of the tallest architectural element , including spires but not antennae . This led to a rivalry between the Bank of Manhattan Building and the Chrysler Building . The Bank of Manhattan Building employed only a short spire and was 282.5 m ( 927 ft ) tall and had a much higher top occupied floor ( the second category in the 1996 criteria for tallest building ) . In contrast , the Chrysler Building employed a very large 38.1 m ( 125 ft ) spire secretly assembled inside the building to claim the title of world 's tallest building with a total height of 318.9 m ( 1,046 ft ) , although it had a lower top occupied floor and a shorter height when both buildings ' spires were excluded . Upset by Chrysler 's victory , Shreve & Lamb , the consulting architects of the Bank of Manhattan Building , wrote a newspaper article claiming that their building was actually the tallest , since it contained the world 's highest usable floor . They pointed out that the observation deck in the Bank of Manhattan Building was nearly 30 m ( 100 ft ) above the top floor in the Chrysler Building , whose surpassing spire was strictly ornamental and inaccessible . At present , the Burj Khalifa tops the list by some margin , regardless of which criterion is applied . Tallest buildings in the world ( 350 m+ ) As of 2018 , this list includes all 56 buildings ( completed and architecturally topped out ) which reach a height of 350 metres ( 1,148 ft ) or more , as assessed by their highest architectural feature . Of these , 27 ( 48 % ) are in China . Six of the last seven buildings to have held the record as ' tallest building ' are still found in the list , with the exception being the North Tower of the original World Trade Center after its destruction in the September 11 attacks of 2001 . If the twin towers were still standing today they would occupy numbers 24 and 25 on the list ( or 23 and 24 since it can be assumed One World Trade Center would have never been built ) . bold Denotes building that is or was once the tallest in the world Rank Building City Country Height ( m ) Height ( ft ) Floors Built Burj Khalifa Dubai United Arab Emirates 828 m 2,717 ft 163 Shanghai Tower Shanghai China 632 m 2,073 ft 128 2015 Abraj Al - Bait Clock Tower Mecca Saudi Arabia 601 m 1,971 ft 120 2012 Ping An Finance Centre Shenzhen China 599 m 1,965 ft 115 2017 5 Lotte World Tower Seoul South Korea 554.5 m 1,819 ft 123 2016 6 One World Trade Center New York City United States 541.3 m 1,776 ft 104 2014 7 Guangzhou CTF Finance Centre Guangzhou China 530 m 1,739 ft 111 2016 Tianjin CTF Finance Centre Tianjin China 530 m 1,739 ft 98 2017 9 China Zun Beijing China 528 m 1,732 ft 108 2018 10 Taipei 101 Taipei Taiwan 508 m 1,667 ft 101 11 Shanghai World Financial Center Shanghai China 492 m 1,614 ft 101 2008 12 International Commerce Centre Hong Kong China 484 m 1,588 ft 118 13 Lakhta Center St. Petersburg Russia 462 m 1,516 ft 86 2018 14 Landmark 81 Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam 461.2 m 1,513 ft 81 2018 15 Changsha IFS Tower T1 Changsha China 452.1 m 1,483 ft 88 2017 16 Petronas Tower 1 Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 451.9 m 1,483 ft 88 1998 Petronas Tower 2 Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 451.9 m 1,483 ft 88 1998 18 Zifeng Tower Nanjing China 450 m 1,476 ft 89 Suzhou IFS Suzhou China 450 m 1,476 ft 92 2017 20 Willis Tower ( formerly the Sears Tower ) Chicago United States 442.1 m 1,450 ft 108 21 KK100 Shenzhen China 442 m 1,449 ft 100 2011 22 Guangzhou International Finance Center Guangzhou China 440 m 1,440 ft 103 23 Wuhan Center Wuhan China 438 m 1,437 ft 88 2016 24 432 Park Avenue New York City United States 425.5 m 1,396 ft 88 2015 25 Marina 101 Dubai United Arab Emirates 425 m 1,394 ft 101 2015 26 Trump International Hotel and Tower Chicago United States 423.2 m 1,388 ft 98 2009 27 Jin Mao Tower Shanghai China 421 m 1,380 ft 88 1999 28 Princess Tower Dubai United Arab Emirates 414 m 1,358 ft 101 2012 29 Al Hamra Tower Kuwait City Kuwait 413 m 1,354 ft 80 2011 30 Two International Finance Centre Hong Kong China 412 m 1,352 ft 88 2003 31 China Resources Headquarters Shenzhen China 392.5 m 1,288 ft 67 2017 32 23 Marina Dubai United Arab Emirates 392.4 m 1,287 ft 89 2012 33 CITIC Plaza Guangzhou China 390.2 m 1,280 ft 80 34 Shum Yip Upperhills Tower 1 Shenzhen China 388.1 m 1,273 ft 80 2017 35 Capital Market Authority Headquarters Riyadh Saudi Arabia 385 m 1,263 ft 77 2016 36 Shun Hing Square Shenzhen China 384 m 1,260 ft 69 37 Eton Place Dalian Tower 1 Dalian China 383 m 1,257 ft 81 2015 38 Logan Century Center 1 Nanning China 381.3 m 1,251 ft 82 2017 39 Burj Mohammed bin Rashid Abu Dhabi United Arab Emirates 381 m 1,251 ft 88 2014 40 Empire State Building New York City United States 381 m 1,250 ft 102 1931 41 Elite Residence Dubai United Arab Emirates 381 m 1,248 ft 87 2012 42 Central Plaza Hong Kong China 374 m 1,227 ft 78 Federation Tower ( East Tower ) Moscow Russia 374 m 1,227 ft 95 2016 44 The Address the BLVD Dubai United Arab Emirates 368 m 1,207 ft 72 2017 45 Bank of China Tower Hong Kong China 367 m 1,205 ft 70 46 Bank of America Tower New York City United States 365.8 m 1,200 ft 54 2009 47 Almas Tower Dubai United Arab Emirates 363 m 1,191 ft 68 2009 48 Gevora Hotel Dubai United Arab Emirates 356.3 m 1,169 ft 75 2017 49 JW Marriott Marquis Dubai Tower 1 Dubai United Arab Emirates 355 m 1,166 ft 82 2012 JW Marriott Marquis Dubai Tower 2 Dubai United Arab Emirates 355 m 1,166 ft 82 2012 51 Emirates Office Tower Dubai United Arab Emirates 355 m 1,163 ft 54 2000 52 OKO Tower - South Tower Moscow Russia 354 m 1,160 ft 85 2015 53 The Marina Torch Dubai United Arab Emirates 352 m 1,155 ft 86 2011 54 Forum 66 Tower 1 Shenyang China 350.6 m 1,150 ft 68 2015 55 The Pinnacle Guangzhou China 350.3 m 1,149 ft 60 2012 56 Hanking Center Shenzhen China 350 m 1,148 ft 73 2017 Xi An Glory International Financial Center Xi'an China 350 m 1,148 ft 75 2017 Gallery Burj Khalifa in Dubai , United Arab Emirates , is the world 's tallest building .

The International Commerce Centre in Hong Kong , is currently the 10th tallest building . The Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur , Malaysia , were the tallest buildings from 1998 to 2004 , and are still the tallest twin buildings . Willis Tower , formerly Sears Tower , in Chicago , United States , was the tallest building from 1974 to 1998 . New York City 's Empire State Building was the tallest building from 1931 to 1972 , and is the 5th tallest building in the United States . Alternative measurements Height to pinnacle ( highest point ) Tallest buildings by pinnacle height , including all masts , poles , antennae , etc. in 2014 . This measurement disregards distinctions between architectural and non-architectural extensions , and simply measures to the highest point . This measurement is useful for air traffic obstacle determinations , and is also a wholly objective measure . However , this measurement includes extensions that are easily added , removed , and modified from a building and are independent of the overall structure . This measurement only recently came into use , when the Petronas Towers passed the Sears Tower ( now called Willis Tower ) in height . The former was considered taller because its spires were considered architectural , while the latter 's antennae were not . This led to the split of definitions , with the Sears Tower claiming the lead in this and the height - to - roof ( now highest occupied floor ) categories , and with the Petronas claiming the lead in the architectural height category . bold † Denotes building with pinnacle height higher than architectural Rank Building City Country Height Floors Built Burj Khalifa † Dubai United Arab Emirates 829.8 m 2,722 ft 163 Shanghai Tower Shanghai China 632 m 2,073 ft 128 2015 Abraj Al - Bait Towers Mecca Saudi Arabia 601 m 1,971 ft 120 2012 Ping An Finance Center Shenzhen China 599 m 1,965 ft 115 2016 5 Lotte World Tower † Seoul South Korea 555.7 m 1,823 ft 123 2016 6 One World Trade Center † New York City United States 546.2 m 1,792 ft 104 2014 7 CTF Finance Centre Guangzhou China 530 m 1,739 ft 111 2016 7 Tianjin CTF Finance Centre Tianjin China 530 m 1,739 ft 98 2017 9 China Zun Beijing China 528 m 1,732 ft 108 2018 10 Willis Tower † Chicago United States 527 m 1,729 ft 108 11 Taipei 101 Taipei Taiwan 508 m 1,667 ft 101 12 Shanghai World Financial Center † Shanghai China 494.3 m 1,622 ft 101 2008 13 International Commerce Centre Hong Kong China 484 m 1,588 ft 118 14 Lakhta Center St. Petersburg Russia 462 m 1,516 ft 86 2018 15 Landmark 81 Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam 461.2 m 1,513 ft 81 2018 16 John Hancock Center † Chicago United States 456.9 m 1,499 ft 100 1969 17 Changsha IFS Tower T1 Changsha China 452 m 1,483 ft 94 2017 18 Petronas Tower 1 Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 451.9 m 1,483 ft 88 1998 18 Petronas Tower 2 Kuala Lumpur Malaysia 451.9 m 1,483 ft 88 1998 20 Zifeng Tower Nanjing China 450 m 1,476 ft 89 2009 21 Suzhou IFS Suzhou China 450 m 1,476 ft 98 2017 22 Empire State Building † New York City United States 443.2 m 1,454 ft 102 1931 23 Kingkey 100 Shenzhen China 442 m 1,449 ft 100 2011 24 Guangzhou International Finance Center Guangzhou China 438.6 m 1,445 ft 103 2009 25 Wuhan Center Wuhan China 438 m 1,437 ft 88 2017 26 432 Park Avenue New York City United States 425.5 m 1,396 ft 85 2015 27 Marina 101 Dubai United Arab Emirates 425 m 1,394 ft 101 2017 28 Trump International Hotel and Tower Chicago United States 423.2 m 1,388 ft 96 2009 29 Jin Mao Tower Shanghai China 421 m 1,381 ft 88 1998 30 Princess Tower † Dubai United Arab Emirates 414 m 1,358 ft 101 2012 31 Al Hamra Tower Kuwait City Kuwait 412.6 m 1,354 ft 80 32 Two International Finance Centre Hong Kong China 412 m 1,352 ft 88 2003 Height to occupied floor This height is measured from the level of the lowest , significant , open - air , pedestrian entrance to the highest occupied floor within the building .

For information on the franchise in general , see San Francisco Giants . For the National Football League team , see New York Giants . 1948 -- 57 . The same logo was later used by the New York Mets . New York Giants primary logo , 1947 - 1957 The New York Giants were the New York City -- based incarnation of the present day San Francisco Giants prior to the team 's relocation to San Francisco in 1958 . The franchise was based in the New York metropolitan area from the team 's inception in 1883 through the 1957 season . During most of its seasons in New York , the Giants played home games in the Polo Grounds in the Upper Manhattan region of New York City . Numerous inductees of the Baseball Hall of Fame played for the New York Giants , including John McGraw , Mel Ott , Bill Terry , Willie Mays , Monte Irvin , and Travis Jackson . During the club 's 75 - season tenure in New York , it won five of the franchise 's eight World Series wins and 17 of its 24 National League pennants . Famous moments in the Giants ' New York history include the 1922 World Series , in which the Giants swept the Yankees in four games , the 1951 homerun known as the `` Shot Heard ' Round the World '' , and the defensive feat by Willie Mays during the first game of the 1954 World Series known as `` the Catch '' . The Giants had intense rivalries with their fellow New York teams the New York Yankees and the Brooklyn Dodgers ; games between any two of these three teams were known collectively as the Subway Series . The New York -- Brooklyn rivalry carried over to the West Coast when the Dodgers relocated to Los Angeles at during the same year and continues today as a Los Angeles -- San Francisco rivalry .

Day and veteran amateur baseball player Jim Mutrie . The Gothams , as the Giants were originally known , entered the National League seven years after its 1876 formation , in 1883 , while their other club , the Metropolitans ( the original New York Mets ) played in the rival American Association ( 1882 - 1891 ) . Nearly half of the original Gothams players were members of the disbanded Troy Trojans in upstate New York , whose place in the National League the Gothams inherited . While the Metropolitans were initially the more successful club , after they won the 1884 AA championship , Day and Mutrie began moving star players to the NL Gothams , whose fortunes improved while the Metropolitans ' afterwards slumped . It is said that after one particularly satisfying victory over the Philadelphia Phillies , Mutrie ( who was also the team 's manager ) stormed into the dressing room and exclaimed , `` My big fellows ! My giants ! '' From then on ( 1885 ) , the club was known as the Giants . The team won its first National League pennant in 1888 , as well as a victory over the St. Louis Browns in an early incarnation of the pre-modern - era World Series . They repeated as champions the next year with a pennant and world championship victory over the Brooklyn Bridegrooms . The Giants ' original home stadium , the Polo Grounds , also dates from this early era . It was originally located north of Central Park adjacent to Fifth and Sixth Avenues and 110th and 112th Streets , in Harlem in upper Manhattan . After their eviction from that first incarnation of the Polo Grounds after the 1888 season , they moved further uptown to various fields which they also named the `` Polo Grounds '' located between 155th and 159th Streets in Harlem and Washington Heights , playing in the Washington Heights located famous Polo Grounds until the end of the 1957 season , when they moved to San Francisco . The Giants were a powerhouse in the late 1880s , winning their first two National League Pennants and World Championships in 1888 & 1889 . But nearly all of the Giants ' stars jumped to the upstart newly - organized rival loop , the Players ' League , whose New York franchise was also named the Giants , in 1890 . The new team even built a stadium next door to the NL Polo Grounds . With a decimated roster , the NL Giants finished a distant sixth . Attendance took a nosedive , and the financial strain affected Day 's tobacco business as well . The Players ' League dissolved after the single season , and Day sold a minority interest in his NL Giants to the defunct PL Giants ' principal backer , Edward Talcott . As a condition of the sale , Day had to fire Mutrie as manager . Although the Giants rebounded to third place in 1891 , Day was forced to sell a controlling interest to Talcott at the end of the ' 91 season . Four years later , Talcott sold the Giants to Andrew Freedman , a real estate developer with ties to the Tammany Hall political machine / of the city / state Democratic Party running New York City . Freedman was one of the most detested owners in baseball history , getting into heated disputes with other owners , writers and his own players , most famously with star pitcher Amos Rusie , author of the first Giants no - hitter . When Freedman offered Rusie only $2,500 for 1896 , the disgruntled hurler sat out the entire season . Attendance fell off throughout the league without Rusie , prompting the other owners to chip in $50,000 to get him to return for 1897 . Freedman even hired former owner Day as manager for part of the 1899 season . In 1902 , after a series of disastrous moves that left the Giants 531⁄2 games behind the front - runner , Freedman signed John McGraw as player - manager , convincing him to jump in mid-season from the Baltimore Orioles ( 1901 - 1902 ) of the fledgling American League and bring with him several of his teammates . McGraw went on to manage the Giants for three decades until 1932 , one of the longest and most successful tenures in professional sports . Hiring `` Mr. McGraw , '' as his players referred to him , was one of Freedman 's last significant moves as owner of the Giants , since after that 1902 season he was forced to sell his interest in the club to John T. Brush . McGraw went on to manage the Giants to nine National League pennants ( in 1904 - 1905 , 1911 -- 1913 , 1914 ) and three World Series championships ( in 1905 & 1921 - 1922 ) , with a tenth pennant and fourth world championship as Giants owner in 1933 under his handpicked player - manager successor , Bill Terry . The Giants already had their share of stars beginning in the 1880s & 1890s , such as `` Smiling '' Mickey Welch , Roger Connor , Tim Keefe , Jim O'Rourke and John Montgomery Ward , the player - lawyer who formed the renegade Players ' League in 1890 to protest unfair player contracts . McGraw , a veteran of the infamous 1890s Baltimore Orioles , in his three decades managing the Giants , cultivated a new crop of baseball heroes with names like Christy Mathewson , `` Iron Man '' Joe McGinnity , Jim Thorpe , Red Ames , Casey Stengel , Art Nehf , Edd Roush , Rogers Hornsby , Bill Terry and Mel Ott . The Giants under McGraw famously snubbed their first modern World Series chance in 1904 , established as the price of peace with the rival Americans , first played the year before , by refusing the invitation to play the reigning world champion Boston Americans ( now known as the Boston Red Sox ) because McGraw considered the newly established American League of 1901 , as little more than a minor league and disliked its firebrand president , Ban Johnson . He also resented his Giants ' new intra-city rival New York Highlanders , ( from the old relocated charter AL franchise Baltimore Orioles ) , who almost won the pennant but lost to Boston on the last day , and stuck by his refusal to play whoever won the 1904 AL pennant . Of note , McGraw had managed the relocated Highlanders franchise in their first two seasons ( 1901 -- 1902 ) , when they were playing in Baltimore . The ensuing criticism resulted in Brush 's taking the lead to formalize the rules and format of the World Series . The Giants won the 1905 World Series over Connie Mack 's Philadelphia Athletics , with Christy Mathewson nearly winning the series single - handedly with a still - standing record three complete - game shutouts and 27 consecutive scoreless innings in that one World Series , a feat unlikely ever to be duplicated . The Giants then had several frustrating years . In 1908 , they finished in a tie with the Chicago Cubs due to a late - season home tie game with the Cubs resulting from the Fred Merkle baserunning `` boner '' . They lost the postseason replay of the tie game ( ordered by NL president Harry Pulliam ) to the Cubs ( after disgruntled Giants fans had set fire to the stands the morning of the game ) , who would go on to win their second ( consecutive , and their last for the next 108 years ! ! ) World Series . That post-season game was further darkened by a story that someone on the Giants had attempted to bribe umpire Bill Klem . This could have been a disastrous scandal for baseball , but because Klem was honest and the Giants lost the duel between Christy Mathewson and Mordecai `` Three - Fingered '' Brown 4 -- 2 , it faded over time . The Giants experienced a mixture of success and hard luck in the early 1910s , losing three straight World Series in 1911 -- 1913 to the A 's , Red Sox and A 's again ( two seasons later , both the Giants and the A 's , decimated by the short - lived rival third loop , the Federal League of 1914 - 1915 , with the `` jumping ship '' signings of many of their stars , finished in eighth ( last ) place ) . After losing the 1917 Series to the Chicago White Sox ( the last `` Chisox Series '' win until 2005 ) , the Giants played in four straight World Series in the early 1920s , winning the first two over their Polo Grounds fellow tenants , the Yankees ( after winning the first two of their many pennants , led by their new young slugger and former Red Sox and Orioles pitcher George Herman `` Babe '' Ruth ) , then losing to the Yankees in 1923 after old Yankee Stadium had opened that May . They also lost in 1924 , when the Washington Senators won their only World Series while in D.C. ( prior to their move to Minneapolis - St. Paul as the Minnesota Twins before the 1961 season and their later 1987 & 1991 Series wins there ) . 1930 -- 57 : five pennants in 28 seasons ( edit ) McGraw handed over the team to Bill Terry after the 1932 season , and Terry played for and managed the Giants for ten years , winning three pennants , defeating the Senators in the 1933 World Series but swept by the Yankees in consecutive fall classics , 1936 and 1937 . Aside from Terry himself , the other stars of the era were slugger Mel Ott and southpaw hurler Carl Hubbell . Known as `` King Carl '' and `` The Meal Ticket '' , Hubbell gained fame in the first two innings of the 1934 All - Star Game ( played at the Polo Grounds ) by striking out five future AL Hall of Famers in a row : Babe Ruth , Lou Gehrig , Jimmie Foxx , Al Simmons and Joe Cronin . Ott succeeded Terry as manager in 1942 , but the war years proved to be difficult for the Giants . Midway during the 1948 season Brooklyn Dodgers Leo Durocher left as Dodgers skipper to manage the Giants , not without controversy . Not only was such a midseason managerial switch unprecedented , but Durocher had been accused of gambling in 1947 and subsequently suspended for that whole season by Baseball Commissioner Albert `` Happy '' Chandler . Durocher 's ensuing eight full seasons managing the Giants proved some of the most memorable for their fans , particularly because of the arrival of five - tool superstar Willie Mays , their two pennants in 1951 & 1954 , their unexpected sweep of the powerful ( 111 - 43 ) Cleveland Indians in the 1954 World Series and arguably the two most famous plays in Giants history . 1951 : the `` Shot Heard ' Round the World '' ( edit ) Main article : Shot Heard ' Round the World ( baseball ) The `` Shot Heard ' Round the World , '' or Bobby Thomson 's come - from - behind ninth - inning walk - off home run that won the National League pennant for the Giants over their bitter rivals , the Brooklyn Dodgers , in the deciding game of a three - game playoff series ending one of baseball 's most memorable pennant races . The Giants had been 13 1 / 2 games behind the league - leading Dodgers in August , but under Durocher 's guidance and with a 16 - game winning streak , got hot and caught the Dodgers to tie for the lead on the next - to - last day of the season . Mays 's catch and the 1954 Series ( edit ) Main article : The Catch ( baseball ) In Game 1 of the 1954 World Series at the Polo Grounds against the Cleveland Indians , Willie Mays made `` The Catch , '' a dramatic over-the - shoulder catch of a fly ball by Vic Wertz after sprinting with his back to the plate on a dead run to deepest center field . At the time the game was tied 2 -- 2 in the eighth inning , with men on first and second and nobody out . Mays caught the ball 450 ft ( 140 m ) from the plate , whirled and threw the ball to the infield , keeping the lead runner , Larry Doby , from scoring . Although Doby took third after the catch , he was stranded there and the Giants won on Dusty Rhodes ' tenth - inning pinch - hit walk - off home run with two aboard , 5 - 2 . The underdog Giants went on to sweep the series in four straight , despite the Indians ' American League 111 - 43 regular season . The 1954 World Series title would be their last appearance in the World Series as the New York Giants , with the team moving to San Francisco to start the 1958 season . New York Giants of the 1950s ( edit ) In addition to Bobby Thomson and Willie Mays , other memorable New York Giants of the 1950s include Hall of Fame manager Leo Durocher , coach Herman Franks , Hall of Fame outfielder Monte Irvin , outfielder and runner - up for the 1954 NL batting championship ( won by Willie Mays ) Don Mueller , Hall of Fame knuckleball relief pitcher Hoyt Wilhelm , starting pitchers Larry Jansen , Sal Maglie , Jim Hearn , Marv Grissom , Dave Koslo , Don Liddle , Max Lanier , Rubén Gómez , Al Worthington , and Johnny Antonelli , catcher Wes Westrum , catchers Ray Katt and Sal Yvars , shortstop Alvin Dark , third baseman Hank Thompson , first baseman Whitey Lockman , second basemen Davey Williams and Eddie Stanky , outfielder - pitcher Clint Hartung and utility men Johnny Mize , Bill Rigney , Daryl Spencer , Bobby Hofman , Joey Amalfitano , Tookie Gilbert , and 1954 Series hero Dusty Rhodes , among others . In the late 1950s and after the move to San Francisco two Hall of Fame first basemen , Orlando Cepeda and Willie McCovey , joined the team . 1957 : move to California ( edit ) The Giants ' final three years in New York City were unmemorable . They stumbled to third place the year after their World Series win , and attendance fell off precipitously . While seeking a new stadium to replace the crumbling Polo Grounds , the Giants began to contemplate a move from New York , initially considering Metropolitan Stadium in Bloomington , Minnesota , which was home to their top farm team , the Minneapolis Millers . Under the rules of the time , the Giants ' ownership of the Millers gave them priority rights to a major league team in the area ( the Washington Senators wound up there as the Minnesota Twins in 1961 ) . At this time , the Giants were approached by San Francisco mayor George Christopher . Despite objections from shareholders such as Joan Whitney Payson , majority owner Horace Stoneham entered into negotiations with San Francisco officials around the same time the Dodgers ' owner Walter O'Malley was courting the city of Los Angeles . O'Malley had been told that the Dodgers would not be allowed to move to Los Angeles unless a second team moved to California as well . He pushed Stoneham toward relocation , and so in the summer of 1957 both the Giants and Brooklyn Dodgers announced their moves to California , ending the three - team golden age of baseball in New York City . New York would remain a one - team town with the New York Yankees until 1962 , when Joan Payson founded the New York Mets and brought National League baseball back to the city ( as part of MLB 's first wave of expansion ) . Owners Payson and M. Donald Grant , who became the Mets ' chairman , had been the only Giants board members to vote against the Giants ' move to California . The `` NY '' script on the Giants ' caps and the orange trim on their uniforms , along with the blue background used by the Dodgers , would be adopted by the Mets , honoring their New York NL forebears with a blend of Giants orange and Dodgers blue .

Question: where did the new york giants baseball play


Ecliptic - wikipedia Ecliptic Jump to : navigation , search The Sun appears to move with respect to the fixed stars , as seen from the orbiting Earth . The ecliptic is the yearly path the Sun appears to follow on the celestial sphere . This process repeats itself in a cycle lasting a little over 365 days . The ecliptic is the circular path on the celestial sphere that the Sun appears to follow over the course of a year ; it is the basis of the ecliptic coordinate system . The term also refers to the plane of this path , which is coplanar with Earth 's orbit around the Sun ( and hence the Sun 's apparent orbit around Earth ) . The ecliptic is not normally noticeable from Earth 's surface because Earth rotates , carrying the observer through the cycles of sunrise and sunset , which obscure the Sun 's apparent motion against the background of fixed stars . Contents ( hide ) 1 Sun 's apparent motion 2 Relationship to the celestial equator 3 Obliquity of the ecliptic 4 Plane of the Solar System 5 Celestial reference plane 6 Eclipses 7 Equinoxes and solstices 8 In the constellations 9 Astrology 10 See also 11 Notes and references 12 External links Sun 's apparent motion ( edit ) The motions as described above are simplifications . Due to the movement of Earth around the Earth -- Moon center of mass , the apparent path of the Sun wobbles slightly , with a period of about one month . Due to further perturbations by the other planets of the Solar System , the Earth -- Moon barycenter wobbles slightly around a mean position in a complex fashion . The ecliptic is actually the apparent path of the Sun throughout the course of a year . Because Earth takes one year to orbit the Sun , the apparent position of the Sun takes one year to make a complete circuit of the ecliptic . With slightly more than 365 days in one year , the Sun moves a little less than 1 ° eastward every day . This small difference in the Sun 's position against the stars causes any particular spot on Earth 's surface to catch up with ( and stand directly north or south of ) the Sun about four minutes later each day than it would if Earth would not orbit ; a day on Earth is therefore 24 hours long rather than the approximately 23 - hour 56 - minute sidereal day . Again , this is a simplification , based on a hypothetical Earth that orbits at uniform speed around the Sun . The actual speed with which Earth orbits the Sun varies slightly during the year , so the speed with which the Sun seems to move along the ecliptic also varies . For example , the Sun is north of the celestial equator for about 185 days of each year , and south of it for about 180 days . The variation of orbital speed accounts for part of the equation of time . Relationship to the celestial equator ( edit ) Main article : Axial tilt The plane of Earth 's orbit projected in all directions forms the reference plane known as the ecliptic . Here , it is shown projected outward ( gray ) to the celestial sphere , along with Earth 's equator and polar axis ( green ) . The plane of the ecliptic intersects the celestial sphere along a great circle ( black ) , the same circle on which the Sun seems to move as Earth orbits it . The intersections of the ecliptic and the equator on the celestial sphere are the vernal and autumnal equinoxes ( red ) , where the Sun seems to cross the celestial equator . Because Earth 's rotational axis is not perpendicular to its orbital plane , Earth 's equatorial plane is not coplanar with the ecliptic plane , but is inclined to it by an angle of about 23.4 ° , which is known as the obliquity of the ecliptic . If the equator is projected outward to the celestial sphere , forming the celestial equator , it crosses the ecliptic at two points known as the equinoxes . The Sun , in its apparent motion along the ecliptic , crosses the celestial equator at these points , one from south to north , the other from north to south . The crossing from south to north is known as the vernal equinox , also known as the first point of Aries and the ascending node of the ecliptic on the celestial equator . The crossing from north to south is the autumnal equinox or descending node . Main article : Axial precession ( astronomy ) The orientation of Earth 's axis and equator are not fixed in space , but rotate about the poles of the ecliptic with a period of about 26,000 years , a process known as lunisolar precession , as it is due mostly to the gravitational effect of the Moon and Sun on Earth 's equatorial bulge . Likewise , the ecliptic itself is not fixed . The gravitational perturbations of the other bodies of the Solar System cause a much smaller motion of the plane of Earth 's orbit , and hence of the ecliptic , known as planetary precession . The combined action of these two motions is called general precession , and changes the position of the equinoxes by about 50 arc seconds ( about 0.014 ° ) per year . Main article : Astronomical nutation Once again , this is a simplification . Periodic motions of the Moon and apparent periodic motions of the Sun ( actually of Earth in its orbit ) cause short - term small - amplitude periodic oscillations of Earth 's axis , and hence the celestial equator , known as nutation . This adds a periodic component to the position of the equinoxes ; the positions of the celestial equator and ( vernal ) equinox with fully updated precession and nutation are called the true equator and equinox ; the positions without nutation are the mean equator and equinox . Obliquity of the ecliptic ( edit ) Main article : Axial tilt § Earth Obliquity of the ecliptic is the term used by astronomers for the inclination of Earth 's equator with respect to the ecliptic , or of Earth 's rotation axis to a perpendicular to the ecliptic . It is about 23.4 ° and is currently decreasing 0.013 degrees ( 47 arcseconds ) per hundred years due to planetary perturbations . The angular value of the obliquity is found by observation of the motions of Earth and other planets over many years . Astronomers produce new fundamental ephemerides as the accuracy of observation improves and as the understanding of the dynamics increases , and from these ephemerides various astronomical values , including the obliquity , are derived . Obliquity of the ecliptic for 20,000 years , from Laskar ( 1986 ) . Note that the obliquity varies only from 24.2 ° to 22.5 ° during this time . The red point represents the year 2000 . Until 1983 the obliquity for any date was calculated from work of Newcomb , who analyzed positions of the planets until about 1895 : ε = 23 ° 27 ′ 08 ''. 26 − 46 ''. 845 T − 0 ''. 0059 T + 0 ''. 00181 T where ε is the obliquity and T is tropical centuries from B1900. 0 to the date in question . From 1984 , the Jet Propulsion Laboratory 's DE series of computer - generated ephemerides took over as the fundamental ephemeris of the Astronomical Almanac . Obliquity based on DE200 , which analyzed observations from 1911 to 1979 , was calculated : ε = 23 ° 26 ′ 21 ''. 45 − 46 ''. 815 T − 0 ''. 0006 T + 0 ''. 00181 T where hereafter T is Julian centuries from J2000. 0 . JPL 's fundamental ephemerides have been continually updated . The Astronomical Almanac for 2010 specifies : ε = 23 ° 26 ′ 21 ''. 406 − 46 ''. 836769 T − 0 ''. 0001831 T + 0 ''. 00200340 T − 0 ''. 576 × 10 T − 4 ''. 34 × 10 T These expressions for the obliquity are intended for high precision over a relatively short time span , perhaps ± several centuries . J. Laskar computed an expression to order T good to 0 ''. 04 / 1000 years over 10,000 years . All of these expressions are for the mean obliquity , that is , without the nutation of the equator included . The true or instantaneous obliquity includes the nutation . Plane of the Solar System ( edit ) Main article : Solar System Top and side views of the plane of the ecliptic , showing planets Mercury , Venus , Earth , and Mars . Most of the planets orbit the Sun very nearly in the same plane in which Earth orbits , the ecliptic . Four planets lined up along the ecliptic in July 2010 , illustrating how the planets orbit the Sun in nearly the same plane . Photo taken at sunset , looking west over Surakarta , Java , Indonesia . Most of the major bodies of the Solar System orbit the Sun in nearly the same plane . This is likely due to the way in which the Solar System formed from a protoplanetary disk . Probably the closest current representation of the disk is known as the invariable plane of the Solar System . Earth 's orbit , and hence , the ecliptic , is inclined a little more than 1 ° to the invariable plane , and the other major planets are also within about 6 ° of it . Because of this , most Solar System bodies appear very close to the ecliptic in the sky . The ecliptic is well defined by the motion of the Sun . The invariable plane is defined by the angular momentum of the entire Solar System , essentially the summation of all of the orbital motions and rotations of all the bodies of the system , a somewhat uncertain value that requires precise knowledge of every object in the system . For these reasons , the ecliptic is used as the reference plane of the Solar System out of convenience . Celestial reference plane ( edit ) Main articles : Celestial equator and Ecliptic coordinate system The apparent motion of the Sun along the ecliptic ( red ) as seen on the inside of the celestial sphere . Ecliptic coordinates appear in ( red ) . The celestial equator ( blue ) and the equatorial coordinates ( blue ) , being inclined to the ecliptic , appear to wobble as the Sun advances . The ecliptic forms one of the two fundamental planes used as reference for positions on the celestial sphere , the other being the celestial equator . Perpendicular to the ecliptic are the ecliptic poles , the north ecliptic pole being the pole north of the equator . Of the two fundamental planes , the ecliptic is closer to unmoving against the background stars , its motion due to planetary precession being roughly 1 / 100 that of the celestial equator . Spherical coordinates , known as ecliptic longitude and latitude or celestial longitude and latitude , are used to specify positions of bodies on the celestial sphere with respect to the ecliptic . Longitude is measured positively eastward 0 ° to 360 ° along the ecliptic from the vernal equinox , the same direction in which the Sun appears to move . Latitude is measured perpendicular to the ecliptic , to + 90 ° northward or - 90 ° southward to the poles of the ecliptic , the ecliptic itself being 0 ° latitude . For a complete spherical position , a distance parameter is also necessary . Different distance units are used for different objects . Within the Solar System , astronomical units are used , and for objects near Earth , Earth radii or kilometers are used . A corresponding right - handed rectangular coordinate system is also used occasionally ; the x-axis is directed toward the vernal equinox , the y - axis 90 ° to the east , and the z - axis toward the north ecliptic pole ; the astronomical unit is the unit of measure . Symbols for ecliptic coordinates are somewhat standardized ; see the table . Summary of notation for ecliptic coordinates spherical rectangular longitude latitude distance geocentric λ β Δ heliocentric l r x , y , z Jump up ^ Occasional use ; x , y , z are usually reserved for equatorial coordinates . Ecliptic coordinates are convenient for specifying positions of Solar System objects , as most of the planets ' orbits have small inclinations to the ecliptic , and therefore always appear relatively close to it on the sky . Because Earth 's orbit , and hence the ecliptic , moves very little , it is a relatively fixed reference with respect to the stars . Inclination of the ecliptic over 200,000 years , from Dziobek ( 1892 ) . This is the inclination to the ecliptic of 101,800 CE . Note that the ecliptic rotates by only about 7 ° during this time , whereas the celestial equator makes several complete cycles around the ecliptic . The ecliptic is a relatively stable reference compared to the celestial equator . Because of the precessional motion of the equinox , the ecliptic coordinates of objects on the celestial sphere are continuously changing . Specifying a position in ecliptic coordinates requires specifying a particular equinox , that is , the equinox of a particular date , known as an epoch ; the coordinates are referred to the direction of the equinox at that date . For instance , the Astronomical Almanac lists the heliocentric position of Mars at 0h Terrestrial Time , 4 Jan 2010 as : longitude 118 ° 09 ' 15 ``. 8 , latitude + 1 ° 43 ' 16 ''. 7 , true heliocentric distance 1.6302454 AU , mean equinox and ecliptic of date . This specifies the mean equinox of 4 Jan 2010 0h TT as above , without the addition of nutation . Eclipses ( edit ) Main article : Eclipse Because the orbit of the Moon is inclined only about 5.145 ° to the ecliptic and the Sun is always very near the ecliptic , eclipses always occur on or near it . Because of the inclination of the Moon 's orbit , eclipses do not occur at every conjunction and opposition of the Sun and Moon , but only when the Moon is near an ascending or descending node at the same time it is at conjunction or opposition . The ecliptic is so named because the ancients noted that eclipses only occurred when the Moon crossed it . Equinoxes and solstices ( edit ) Positions of equinoxes and solstices ecliptic equatorial longitude right ascension vernal equinox 0 ° 0h summer solstice 90 ° 6h autumnal equinox 180 ° 12h winter solstice 270 ° 18h Main articles : Equinox and Solstice The exact instants of equinoxes or solstices are the times when the apparent ecliptic longitude ( including the effects of aberration and nutation ) of the Sun is 0 ° , 90 ° , 180 ° , or 270 ° . Because of perturbations of Earth 's orbit and peculiarities of the calendar , the dates of these are not fixed . In the constellations ( edit ) Equirectangular plot of declination vs right ascension of the modern constellations with a dotted line denoting the ecliptic . Constellations are colour - coded by family and year established . ( detailed view ) The ecliptic currently passes through the following constellations : Pisces Aries Taurus Gemini Cancer Leo Virgo Libra Scorpius Ophiuchus Sagittarius Capricornus Aquarius Astrology ( edit ) Main article : Astrology The ecliptic forms the center of a band about 20 ° wide called the zodiac , on which the Sun , Moon , and planets are seen always to move . Traditionally , this region is divided into 12 signs of 30 ° longitude , each of which approximates the Sun 's motion through one month . In ancient times the signs corresponded roughly to 12 of the constellations that straddle the ecliptic . These signs give us some of the terminology used today . The first point of Aries was named when the vernal equinox was actually in the constellation Aries ; it has since moved into Pisces .
