Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why do we use different units of time?

We use different units to make sense of scale. It's much easier to say a project will take "2 weeks" than "1,209,600 seconds." Using the appropriate unit makes time more understandable and manageable.

How many seconds are in a day?

There are 86,400 seconds in a standard day. This is calculated as: 60 seconds/minute × 60 minutes/hour × 24 hours/day = 86,400.
