Working out how many seconds in a year is highly beneficial for factories that have machines running 24 hours a day 365 days a year, producing several items a second. Indeed, financial companies on the New York &
London stock exchange wish to know how many second they have or hours every day to execute financial transactions. Each common year is 365 days on standard
calendar time period divided into 12 months, weeks, days, hours and seconds. Identify and calculate unit measurements that make up one common calendar year of 365 days.Common year calendar seconds in a year
365 days = 1 common year
24 hours = 1 day
60 minutes = 1 hour
60 seconds = 1 minute
Formula 1 year in seconds = (seconds in a minute) x (minutes in an hour) x (hours in a day) x (days in a year)
60 (seconds/minute) x 60 (minutes/hour) x 24 (hours/day) x 365 (days/year) = 31,536,000 seconds in a year. (Common year)
Alternative calculation method
Multiply number of seconds in a day x days in a common year
60 seconds x 60 minutes x 24 hours = 86,400 seconds in a day
Seconds in day 86,400 x 365 day in a year = 1 year in seconds
Leap Year =366 days, 24 hours/day, 60 minutes/hour, 60 seconds minutes
Work out seconds a minute 60 x 60 =3,600 seconds in a minute
(366 days) × (24 hours/day) × (3600 seconds/hour) = 31622400 seconds in a leap year.
Solar year
1 solar year is 365 days 5 hours 48 minutes and 46 seconds, although varies by up to 30 seconds each year, time taken for the earth to circle the sun.
Solar year calculation
365 days (365 x 24 x 60 minutes) = 525,600 minutes
5 hours (5 x 60) = 300 minutes
48 minutes = 48 minutes
46 seconds = 46/60 minutes = 0.76666 of a minute
Minutes (525,600 + 300 + 48 x 60 seconds) + 46 seconds = 31,556,926 seconds in solar year approximately.
Additional question
How many seconds in a week?
7 days = 1 week
24 hours = 1 day
60 minutes = 1 hour
60 seconds = 1 minute
Formula: days 7 x 24 hours x 60 minutes x 60 seconds = 604,800 seconds in a week
Or
1 hour = 60 x 60 = 3,600 sec, 1 day = 3600 x 24 = 86,400, 1 week = 86400 x 7 = 604,800 seconds in a week
