TIME CONVERSION CALCULATOR
There are different ways we measure time. You can use your watch or a clock, a calendar. Maybe you follow the sun or the seasons. Because time often lets us know what is happening in nature. Should it be light or dark, should it be warm or cool. Because time is based on nature it doesn't fit well with the metric system. There is not 10 hours in a day, or 10 days in a month, or 10 months in a year! Therefore the Time Conversion Calculator is necessary to help you convert such things as weeks and hours into years or years into seconds or hours. There are many different ways you can use the time conversion calculator below. If you think it might be able to calculate something to do with time, it probably can - give it a go. Here are some suggestions of the types of problems it can solve:
-
How many days are their in 10000 seconds?
-
How many minutes and seconds are there in a year?
-
How many seconds are there in one-tenth (0.1) of a year?
-
How many times does the earth rotate in an earth year?
See below for further instructions.
When using the Time Conversion Calculator there are a few things to be aware of -- don't enter anything except numbers and a single decimal point - The program is good at finding numbers amongst other stuff, however, it can be confusing if you put commas in your numbers because whilst you might think they are part of a number, the calculator doesn't
- the program is highly accurate in percentage terms but not in absolute terms. Therefore, if you are using lots of significant places the last places are likely to be incorrect but the size of the error will be a small portion of the whole number.
- be wary of large numbers because numbers that are too big for the space the computer provides are not reported, you just get incorrect or silly results.
- We hope the Time Conversion Calculator is useful to you, however we cannot guarantee that it will fit your purpose
