How many seconds are in a day?

86,400 seconds: 24 hours × 60 minutes × 60 seconds.

Why are months shown as averages?

Months have 28 to 31 days, so an average of about 30.44 days is used. For exact calendar calculations, use the date calculator.

How many hours are in a year?

About 8,766 hours in an average year, or 8,760 hours in a 365-day year.
