how many seconds are in a year?

Answer 1

There are 525,600 minutes in a year so multiple thta by 60 and you get 31,536,000 seconds in a year.

Answer 2

Try this:

1 year= 365 days
1 Day= 24 hours
1 hour= 60 minutes
1 minute= 60 seconds

So the no. of seconds in a year are 60*60*24*365= 31536000

Answer 3

There are two potential answers to this question. We think about a year having 365 days, but because of leap years, the "average" year has 365.25 days.

So, it depends which type of year you are asking about. A "normal" year, a "leap" year, or an "average" year.


Assuming you mean a normal year:
1 year = 365 days

365 days * 24 hours in a day = 8760 hours

8760 hours * 60 minutes in an hour = 525,600 minutes

525,600 minutes * 60 seconds in a minute = 31,536,000 seconds

Answer 4

Since there are 365 days in a year, we must first find the number of seconds there are in a day. To do this we note that there are 3600 seconds in one hour (60 sec/min * 60 min/hour). Since there are 24 hours in a day, we multiply 3600 by 24 which is 86400 seconds per day. Multiply that by 365 days, you will get your answer: 31536000 seconds in a year.

Answer 5

If we take year as 365 days, we can write:

365 X 24 X 3600 = 31536000 seconds. A day has 24 hours and an hour has 3600 seconds. We multiplied the numbers.

Answer 6

31,558,149.8 seconds

All the previous answers are calculations based on a year being 365.25 days. A year is NOT exactly 365.25 days.

The time is takes the Earth to orbit the Sun is a more precise definition of a year. This time is 31,558,149.8 seconds.

Answer 7

60 seconds=1 minute
60 minutes=1hour=3600 seconds
24 hours =1 day= 86400 seconds/ day

365 days in a year (366)in a leap year

86400 * 365=31,536, 000 seconds
*366= 31,622,400 seconds

Answer 8

1 year has an average of 365.25 days.
Each day has 24 hours.
Each hour has 60 minutes.
Each minute has 60 seconds.

The number of hours in a year:
365.25 * 24 = 8766 hours

The number of minutes in 8766 hours:
8766 * 60 = 525960 minutes

The number of seconds in 8766 minutes
525960 * 60 = 31557600 seconds

Therefore, there are 31557600 seconds in a year (an average value; may vary each year).

Answer 9

There are 60 seconds/ min
60 minutes/ hr
24 hours/ day
~365 days/ yr

So, multiply these together and you get:

60 * 60 * 24 * 365 = 31,536,000 seconds/ yr

Answer 10

there are 60 secs in a min
60 mins in an hour
24 hours in a day
365 days in a year
so its: 60*60*24*365
which equals to: 31536000 seconds
