Number of hours in a day, and number of days in a year
Hours in a day
Most people know that there are 24 hours in a day. This is the simple bit of the calculation.
Days in a year
Not everyone knows how many days are in a year. In fact, it is 365 (or 366 in a leap year). It is something which is worth remembering.
Calculating the number of hours in a year
To work this out, you need to take the number of days in a year, and multiply it by the number of hours in a day.
This means you need to multiply 24 by 365. For most people, this will require a simple calculator, but the answer comes out at 8760. Easy, isn’t it?
Similar calculations
You can use the same method to work out more complicated sums. Suppose you want to know how many seconds are in a year.
There are 60 seconds in a minute
There are 60 minutes in an hour
There are 24 hours in a day
There are 365 days in a year.
So the number of seconds in a year is 60 x 60 x 24 x 365, which comes to 31,536,000.
