Understanding Time Conversion

Learn about different time units and how they relate to each other

Time Units Explained

Time can be measured in various units from very small (nanoseconds) to very large (millennia). Our converter focuses on the most commonly used units in everyday life: seconds, minutes, hours, days, and weeks.

Standard Time Relationships

  • 1 minute = 60 seconds
  • 1 hour = 60 minutes = 3,600 seconds
  • 1 day = 24 hours = 1,440 minutes
  • 1 week = 7 days = 168 hours

Important Note

While these conversions are mathematically precise, remember that some time units (like weeks to months) aren't perfectly convertible due to varying month lengths. Our converter uses exact mathematical relationships between the supported units.

How Time Conversion Works

The conversion process uses standard mathematical relationships between different time units

Conversion Process

Step 1: The input value is first converted to seconds (the base unit)

Step 2: The seconds value is then converted to the target unit

Example: To convert 2 hours to minutes:

2 hr × 60 min/hr = 120 min

Example: To convert 3 days to hours:

3 d × 24 hr/d = 72 hr

Example: To convert 1 week to seconds:

1 wk × 7 d/wk × 24 hr/d × 60 min/hr × 60 s/min = 604,800 s
