well if you consider a true year is 365.25 days (thats why we add on every four, its not like the earth moves slower every forth year) the correct answer is 31,557,600 seconds.
60s/m * 60 m/h * 24h/d * 365.25 = 31,557,600

That's easy!
There are 31556926 seconds in 1 year, at least for the next 50 years or so.
The number is not perfectly round because the year is not perfectly even. If you simply caluclate by multiplying the number of 'seconds x minutes x hours x days x months' you will get a rounder number, such as others here have given, of 31,536,000 seconds.
However, the real, actual, astronomical year of planet Earth going around the sun is 31556926 seconds, for now.
It is based on the time between the soloar position for one vernal equinox, and then the next equinox with the same solar positon. The equinox changes over centuries, so in 50-100 years this number be off by about 1-2 seconds.
Maybe it's not so easy after all :D

Goody! we did this kinda stuff in grade four.
there are 60 seconds in a minute
60 minutes in an hour
24 hours in a day
365 (366) days in a year (technically that extra days is from 1/4 of the previous years)
(60x60)x(24x365)
By non-leap year calendar : 31,536,000
(60x60)x(24x365)
By calendar Leap: 31622400
(60x60)x(24x366)
By the fact that extra day comes from 1/4 of a day every year: 31557600
(60x60)x(24x365.25)

60 seconds in a minute X 60 minutes in an hour = 3600 seconds
3600 seconds X 24 hours in a day = 85,400 seconds in a day
86,400 seconds times 365 days in a year = 31,536,000 seconds in a normal year
or
31621400 in a leap year.

Approximately 31,536,000 seconds.
Simply, 60 seconds multiplied by 60 minutes multiplied by 24 hours multiplied by 365 days.

315360000. They might round for the song, and i'm not sure if this is a Leap Year or not, but it took me half a second, so there you go.

If it is ordinary year of 365 days , then it has 31,536,000 seconds.If it is a leap year of 366 days , then it consists of 31,622,400 seconds.
Tell me why you asked this simple question.
