how many seconds are there in 1000 years?

Answer 1

1000 x 365 x 52 x 7 x 24 x 60 x 60 = your answer.

try that on a calculator.
it's pretty much 1000 years you're looking for.
how many days in a year.
how many weeks in a year.
how many days in a week.
how many hours in a day.
how many seconds in an hour.

Answer 2

The above answers are correct for a guesstimate (60 x 60 x 24 x 365.25 x 1000) but rememebr that there are many other factors that will affect this - from the fact that Earth is slowing down and precession (orbital wobble) will affect teh length of a year to the fact that the 24 hour clock was devised thousands of years ago before reliable (atomic clock) timepieces were invented so te figures cannot put into the above formula and produce an entirely perfect answer. As you multiply up, each error is also magnified, so although we do not see the lost seconds in a day, over 1000 years they will add up to an over-whelmingly large error. Plus the fact that if you compare 1000 years to one second the difference is so huge that you cannot even have a feasible margin of error (ie: 31.5 x 10^ 9 +/- 10 is a ridiculous concept).

Answer 3

60 x 60 x 24 = seconds in one day = D

D x 365.25 = seconds in one year = Y

(Y x1000) - 2.5D = seconds in one year (average number)

You see, every four hundredth year is not a leap year, ie it only has 365 days not 366. In any 1000 year period there can be two or three "four hundredth year".

This is only an approximation. To get a more accurate figure contact the astronomy section at a university or even on the net, and find the exact length of a year.

Do the calculations yourself.

Answer 4

((365.22 * 24 * 60 * 60)* 1000) - (1000/18) = 31555008000 - 56 = 31555007944

The 1000/18 is for the loss of one second every 18 months due to the slowing rotation of the earth.

Answer 5

Make sure that you don't forget the extra days for leap year or the extra leap seconds for the millimum.

Answer 6

31.536 billion (American that is). Gosh, that's wrong as I haven't taken leap years into consideration. Add 250 x 24 x 60 x 60 = 21,600,000 to the above figure. Still not quite right though. Sorry work the damn answer out by yourself!

Answer 7

Including or excluding the ones they subtract to match up the clock with the earths position relative to the sun?

Answer 8

31,556,976,974.7. This includes the necessary allowance for leap years, but does not include changes in the earth's rotation speed due to tidal friction.

Answer 9

I suppose it would very much depend on which year you were starting with, so that the number of leap years could be calculated.

I'll get my brain into gear while you are deciding !!

Answer 10

Impossible to answer as the earth and its orbit are unpredictable.. Hence the odd added second here and there.
