Question

Express 1year in seconds (in standard form)

Answer 1

Answer:

One year contains 31,536,600 seconds.

Solution:

One normal year = 365 days

1 day = 24 hours

1 hour = 60 minutes

1 minute = 60 seconds

Thus,  

In terms of hours,

One year = 365×24 = 8760 hours

In terms of minutes,  

One year = 8760×60 = 525600 minutes

In terms of seconds,

One year = 525600 × 60 = 31,536,000 seconds

Thus, one year contains 31,536,600 seconds. It can be also written as $31.536\times10^{6}$ seconds.
