How many seconds are in a year?

To calculate the number of seconds in a year, we can use the following breakdown:

1. Seconds in a minute: 60 seconds
2. Minutes in an hour: 60 minutes
3. Hours in a day: 24 hours
4. Days in a year: 365 days (for a non-leap year)

Now, let’s multiply them all together:

60 seconds × 60 minutes × 24 hours × 365 days =31,536,000 seconds

So, there are 31,536,000 seconds in a non-leap year.

For a leap year (which has 366 days), we would add one extra day:

60 seconds × 60 minutes × 24 hours × 366 days =31,622,400 seconds

So, a leap year has 31,622,400 seconds.
