To start with, there are 365 days / year. There are 24 hours/day. There are 60 minutes/hour and there are 60 seconds/minute. If you line these up horizontally as fractions (the number and first unit on top and the other unit on bottom), you will find that days, hours and minutes all cancel and you're left with units of seconds/year. Just multiply all these numbers and you get 31536000seconds/year.

60 seconds =1 minute
60 minutes in a hour or 3600 seconds in a hour
24 hours a day x 3600=86400 seconds a day
365 or 366 days in a year= 31,622,400 seconds / 366 days
= 31,536,000 seconds 365 days

Depends on the type of year; there are several, depending on what is being measured. For calendar purposes, you want the tropical year, which is the time between spring equinoxes, 31,556,976 seconds.

do the math
60x60=3600(hour)
3600x24=86400(day)
86400x365=31536000(regular year)
or
86400x366=31622400(leap year)
There you go
