Why are there leap years and how do they affect time calculations?
Earth's orbit takes 365.25 days, so we add a day every 4 years. Our converter uses the average year length of 365.25 days for accuracy.
What's the most precise time unit available?
Planck time (5.39×10⁻⁴⁴ seconds) is theoretically the smallest measurable time unit in physics, representing the time light takes to travel one Planck length.
How accurate are these time conversions?
Our conversions use precise scientific constants and are accurate to 12+ decimal places, suitable for scientific research and precision timing applications.
What time units should I use for different applications?
Use seconds for scientific work, milliseconds for computing, hours/days for scheduling, and years for long-term planning. Choose based on your precision needs.
