Question

Calculate the order of magnitude of one year in terms of seconds.​

Answer 1

To find:

Order of magnitude of 1 year in terms of seconds?

Calculation:

1 year has 365 days :

$\therefore \: 1 \: year = 365 \: days$

Now, each day has 24 hours :

$\implies \: 1 \: year = 365 \times 24 \: hours$

Each hour has 60 minutes:

$\implies \: 1 \: year = 365 \times 24 \times 60 \: min$

Each minute has 60 seconds:

$\implies \: 1 \: year = 365 \times 24 \times 60 \times 60 \: sec$

$\implies \: 1 \: year = 31536000\: sec$

So, each year has 31536000 seconds.
