What are hour and day

Definition of hour

An hour is a unit of time conventionally reckoned as 1/24 of a day and scientifically reckoned as 3,599–3,601 seconds, depending on conditions. The hour was initially established in the ancient Near East as 1/12 of the night or daytime. Such hours varied by season, latitude, and weather. It was subsequently divided into 60 minutes, each of 60 seconds. Today, a typical hour is equivalent to 60 minutes or 3,600 seconds and is used across various fields globally.

Definition of day

A day is a unit of time. In common usage, it is either an interval equal to 24 hours or daytime, the consecutive period of time during which the Sun is above the horizon. The period of time during which the Earth completes one rotation with respect to the Sun is called a solar day. Several definitions of this universal human concept are used according to context, need and convenience. In 1960, the second was redefined in terms of the orbital motion of the Earth, and was designated the SI base unit of time.

hour to day Conversion Table

Revolutions per hour (r/h) Revolutions per day (r/d)
1 r/h 24 r/d
2 r/h 48 r/d
3 r/h 72 r/d
4 r/h 96 r/d
5 r/h 120 r/d
6 r/h 144 r/d
7 r/h 168 r/d
8 r/h 192 r/d
9 r/h 216 r/d
10 r/h 240 r/d

Conversion of hour to day

1 r/h = 24 r/d
1 r/d = 1/24 r/h

Example 1:
Convert 5 r/h to r/d:
5 r/h = 5 × 24 r/d = 120 r/d

Example 2:
Convert 3 r/h to r/d:
3 r/h = 3 × 24 r/d = 72 r/d

History of hour and day

The concept of measuring rotational speed from hours to days stems from the need to understand and quantify rotational periods over the course of a day. It's particularly useful in mechanical and engineering fields where machinery and components operate on rotations. The converter traces back to such industrial applications, simplifying the calculation of long-term rotational cycles from a per-hour basis to per-day metrics.
