Are you wondering how to convert seconds to days? You don't have to be confounded by such questions anymore! Below, we shall briefly look at the different conversion rates to help you answer such questions.

Converting seconds into different time units

We use many different time units in our daily life, prime among them being seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years. The following relations between different time units are relevant to our discussion:

  • An hour has 60 minutes;

  • A minute has 60 seconds;

  • A day has 24 hours;

  • A week has 7 days;

  • A (sidereal) year has approximately 365.25 days; and

  • A calendar year has 12 months, which gives approximately 30.44 days per month.

Using these relations, we can formulate the conversion rates from seconds to other time units as follows:

Time second conversion rate

1 sec

= 1/60 min

= 1/3600 hr

= 1/86400 day

= 1/604800 wk

= 1/2629800 month

= 1/31557600 yr
