Understanding time units
Time is unique because it isn't decimal: 60 seconds per minute, 60 minutes per hour, 24 hours per day. Converting between distant units like seconds and days requires chaining several factors, which this converter handles automatically.
Quick reference
1 minute = 60 s · 1 hour = 3,600 s · 1 day = 86,400 s · 1 week = 604,800 s · 1 year ≈ 365.25 days. Use the converter for any exact value.
