how many seconds in a year?

Answer 1

60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, 365 days in a year. 1*60*60*24*365 =
31536000 seconds in a year

Answer 2

The top of the head answer would be 365*24*60*60=315,360,000 seconds. However that would neglect leap year (an extra 24*60*60=86,400 seconds) and the leap seconds that are added. The slowing of the earth's rotation causes the atomic clock to fall behind about 0.6 seconds per year. A leap second is added when the difference becomes 0.9 seconds so that will happen about every 1.5+ years.

Answer 3

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

60*60*24*365= 315,360,000 seconds in a year

Answer 4

60 X 60 X 24 X 365 = 31536000 (assuming 365 days)

Answer 5

Joshua has it right by the calendar definition. That said, the time for the earth to complete one full revolution of its orbit (a "sidereal year") is actually closer to 365.25 days-- by this standard, a year actually lasts 31,557,600 seconds.

Answer 6

Thirty-one million, five-hundred thirty-six thousand seconds are in a year

Answer 7

Not a single second for me. I always score the first.

Answer 8

time = 3600 x 24 x 365.25 = 31557600 seconds

Answer 9

31,536,000 seconds
