77 Comments on "Seconds in a Year" hello says Idk Scott says 12 seconds in a year Hoova says How about the second of every month as well as the 22nd of every month adding up to 24 seconds Jusy says 60 151 992 Dan says Could you show your work? I’m not sure where you got that number. If you did the calculation, it would be: 60 (seconds in a minute) x 60 (minutes in an hour) x 24 (hours in a day) x 365 (days in a year) = 31556900, but that doesn’t take into account leap year, or the leap second that’s added once in a while. 365.242 would be closer to the number of days in a year, but I don’t think it’s precise. But all that aside, this isn’t the answer. Think less of calculations. bernadette says Too many Warren says How many seconds are there in a year? Rayhan says loooooooooolll!!!!!!!!! JAIHARI says i don’t think its a correct answer Dan says What do you think is the correct answer? Kevin says Warren a light year isn’t a measurement of time, it’s a measurement of distance, because of the finite speed light travels at, a light year is the distance that light travels in a year not the time it takes to travel Jay says Umm January 2 January 22 February 2 February 22 March 2 March 22 April 2 April 22 May 2 may22 June 2 June 22 July 2 July 22 August 2 August 22 September 2 September 22 October 2 October 22 November 2 November 22 December 2 December 22 Darlington Obinna says 1yr = 365days, 1day = 24hrs, 1hr = 60minutes, 1minute = 60seconds, .’. 60*60 = 3600 = 24*3600 = 86400, 365days = 86400*365 = 31 536000seconds Allen says All of these answers are correct. There are 31,536,000 seconds in a standard year, 31,622,400 seconds in a leap year, approximately 31,556,909 seconds in a solar year. There are also 12 2nd’s (as in dates) in a year, if you choose to count a 22nd as a second (pretty weak, but technically accurate) then there are 24. Just because the questioner had a different response in mind does not change the fact that ALL of the above answers are correct. Mes says Lol. Rednax107 says 3.156e+7 Seconds Shalyn says To figure it out you would do 365days×24h×60min.×60 seconds soooo it would be 31,536,000 hi says 24 seconds Garth says I tend to work things out in my head by multiplying by an easier number that will get me close, then working from there. I started from the number of seconds in a day, 86,400, then multiplied that in stages to get to 375 days, and so on. Dan says What about accounting for a leap year? :) Garth says That’s where the 21,600 at the end comes in. Dan says Touché. How about leap second? Tinmvf says 21 Roger says The correct answer is 12. Anyone who said 24 is an idiot. abdulrasheed hazardo says 31536000 is the correctanswer Udana says There are 12 seconds (2nds) in a year Gerber says 31536000 seconds Gerber says either that or 12 2nd’s in a year Jong-Ku says There are exactly 31,536,000 seconds in one year take it from me im asian Woo Kun Foo says there are “Thirty one million five hundred and thirty six thousand” seconds in one year! Parker says 12 Seconds: Dan says You forgot Jan 22nd, Feb 22nd, March 22nd, etc. Jill says what percent of a year is 26 seconds? Obviously I am NOT so great with math :/ Whart says The question was how many (seconds) not (nd’s) in a year so the correct answer is 31,536,000 in a year. Garima says A year is having 31 million seconds Unknown says S Seconds tick by and turn into minutes. Minutes turn into hours, and hours turn into days. The days turn into years and, before you know it, time has flown by. Have you ever made a split-second decision? You were going to do X, but then…at the last second…you changed your mind and did Y instead. Maybe it was choosing the path less traveled instead of the wide road. Whatever the reason, mere seconds can be well spent and change lives forever. Have you ever stopped to consider how many seconds you have? If every second counts, then let’s count the seconds we have. For example, how many seconds do we have in a day? A month? A whole year? A wise man once said that there are 12 seconds in a year. January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd…OK, you get the picture. But those aren’t the seconds we’re talking about! We mean that small unit of time that’s about as long as it takes to say, “one thousand one.” To figure out how many seconds there are in a year, we’re going to need to know a little math. To convert a certain quantity to a different unit of measure, we need to figure out what is called the conversion factor. To do this, we need to come up with a ratio — or fraction — that equals one. In the ratio, the conversion factor is a multiplier that gets applied to the larger unit to convert it into the smaller unit through multiplication. Sound confusing? Don’t worry. A simple example will make things clear. When thinking about how many seconds there are in a year, let’s first figure out the different units of measurement of time involved. We have the second, the minute, the hour, the day, the month and the year. Let’s start with the largest of these measures: the year. To convert years to the next smallest unit — the month — we have to know how many months are in a year. Since we know there are 12 months in a year, our ratio would be 1:12 (one year:12 months) or 1/12. So, the conversion factor is 12. If we want to know how many months are in 5 years, we just need to multiply the number of years by the conversion factor. Five years times 12 months/year equals 60 months in 5 years. Easy enough, right? To figure out even smaller units, you can keep doing multiple conversions to smaller and smaller units. Just make sure that the units you’re using are all the same. For example, there are 24 hours in each day, but not all months have the same number of days. To convert one year to seconds, you’ll need to skip using months and convert to days, hours, minutes and finally seconds. Each step of the way, you’ll need to compute the conversion factor and then multiply. Here’s what the conversion from one year to seconds would look like: 1 year = 365 days (no, we’re not counting leap years!) 1 day = 24 hours 1 hour = 60 minutes 1 minute = 60 seconds So…drum roll, please…one year would equal 365 times 24 times 60 times 60 seconds…or 31,536,000 seconds! That’s over 31 million seconds you have to spend over the next year. What will you do with YOUR seconds? Wonder Words (15) Ready to put some of your precious seconds to good use?

Mya says 24 January 2nd, January 22nd and so on Rick says 3.154e+7 seconds are in a year SATHEESH KUMAR says how 24 Scotty M says Whoever said that a light year is not a measure of distance is completely WRONG…………a lightyear is the DISTANCE a particle of light can travel in a year…….light can travel the earth 7.5 x in 1 second . says I did 60×60×24×7×4×12 but it equaled 29,030,400 RoEM kINDNESSIAN says SO EASY ITS 12 Dan says What about the twenty second? shurjo says 31 556 926 seconds ha ha Aditya says its 315360000 sec Skyler Coronel says All of you are wrong 24. If you said 12 for January 2nd, February 2nd, etc that’s close, but you forgot about January 22nd, February 22nd and so on. If you are a math whiz and didn’t need a calculator to perform 60 x 60 x 24 x 365, then 31,536,000 works too. If you used 365.25 to account for leap year, then you are a human calculator. Hudges says If the question is as written, then it is, as highlighted by Whart above, literally the number of seconds “The question was how many (seconds) not (nd’s) in a year so the correct answer is 31,536,000 in a year.” However, should it be spoken in a quiz, then there are several answers as displayed above, but which could also include the second: Should one become pedantic, one might include second halves of matches; football, rugby etc., so the number could be any one of a wide variety of answers, which probably makes this not a very good question. I know that it is supposed to be a little ambiguous, but it leaves too much room for debate. isaac ho says this is the way how you do it Joe says ? lordsharry says there are 31,536,000 in a year. To prove it right 1year=365days 1day=24 hours 1hour =60 minutes 1minute=60 seconds therefore 365x24x60x60=31,536,000 seconds i a year. To prove it, use your calculator and calculate it u will find out de same thing or if u dont find the same thing, u made mistake in your calculations. Vidya says There are twelve seconds in a year Jim says My question was simple it wasn’t about dates it was about fractions of minutes seconds 3156000 was the answer to my question. How many of these seconds in a year have we wasted. And thinking of it now how many really continue to waste. For me not another single one second for life is so precious and time it’s so precious. To waste any more would be selfish and stupid as for me never again this simple question answered a lot more answers that I needed to hear Jim says Thank you all for all your many answers. This question has opened my eyes. And now is leading me down a path with more open eyes and open heart God bless you all and thank you The_ProAtRiddles says In real life its 3156000 but its 12 in the riddle The_ProAtRiddles says 15993 times 50 = LOL I SAID TIMES INSTEAD OF DOING THE TIMES SIGN Charles says The closest answer would be in accordance with the tropical year, natural year and 3 others. Rounding to the nearest second the calculation would include 365 days, 5hours, 48 minutes, 46 seconds or 60 x 60 x 24 x 365.25 -(60 x 12 +46 Adora says But my problem is not like that.My problem is i need a sentence when im travelling using this seconds to day. Superwhiz Maths Person (also neutral as to not offend those who have a complex of themselves and others) says This is a very technical question, and calls for the most intelligent of minds to decipher it. No lowly creatures below myself could satisfactorily answer this correctly. As for the person who said “they said seconds, not nds” I dont know of a single day that has twenty two nds in it. bob says 31,536,000 is my answer because 60 seconds are in a minute and 60 minutes are in an hour so I multiplied 60 times 60 and multiplied that number by 24 and multiplied that by 365 and got 31,536,000 How many seconds are in 365 years?The number of seconds in a year of 365 days is 31536000.
