Welcome to Time/Date conversions and calculations center.
Time conversion between seconds, minutes, and hours is a common task in time. For example, you may need to convert seconds to minutes by dividing the number of seconds by 60. Similarly, you can convert minutes to hours by dividing the number of minutes by 60. Date conversion between days, months, and years is also a common task. For example, you may need to determine the number of days in a month, or you may need to convert a date from the format "month/day/year" to the format "year-month-day". There are many tools and libraries available to help with these conversions, depending on the programming language you are using.
The time unit is used to indicate a period of time equal to one day, 24 hours, or 60 minutes. The date unit is used to indicate a period of time equal to one year, 365 days, or 1461 minutes.
The time unit is the standard unit of measurement used to measure the passage of time. The time unit you need to use depends on the type of date you're looking at, so check out our TimeDate.org to learn more about how we calculate dates in here.
Date conversion is the process of converting one date unit to another. Calculating two dates using the same date unit is called date calculation.
A "unit" of time is like a building block for measuring time. For example, one "unit" of time could be a second, and another "unit" could be a year.
To convert between different units of time, you would need to know how many of one unit make up another unit.
For example, there are 60 seconds in one minute, and 60 minutes in one hour. So if you wanted to convert 5 minutes to seconds, you would multiply 5 (the number of minutes) by 60 (the number of seconds in one minute) to get 300 seconds.
Similarly, there are 12 months in a year, and 7 days in a week. So if you wanted to convert 5 weeks to days, you would multiply 5 (the number of weeks) by 7 (the number of days in one week) to get 35 days.
So you could use this method to convert units of time like minutes to seconds, hours to minutes, weeks to days, or years to months.
