Let’s break it down step by step:
1. Hours in a Year:
- 1 day = 24 hours
- 1 year = 365 days (regular year)
- 365 × 24 = 8,760 hours
2. Minutes in a Year:
- 1 hour = 60 minutes
- 8,760 × 60 = 525,600 minutes
3. Seconds in a Year:
- 1 minute = 60 seconds
- 525,600 × 60 = 31,536,000 seconds
Leap Year Adjustment:
- A leap year has 366 days.
- 366 × 24 = 8,784 hours
- 8,784 × 60 = 527,040 minutes
- 527,040 × 60 = 31,622,400 seconds
So, in summary:
- Regular Year: 8,760 hours, 525,600 minutes, 31,536,000 seconds
- Leap Year: 8,784 hours, 527,040 minutes, 31,622,400 seconds
