What are hour and minute

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 concept of the hour was originally developed by the Babylonians who used a sexagesimal (base-60) numbering system, which is why there are 60 minutes in an hour and 24 hours in a day. The hour has been used as a measure of time since ancient civilizations, evolving from being a rough estimate based on the movement of the sun to the precise, standardized unit we use today. It plays a crucial role in daily life, marking the passage of time in both personal and professional activities.

Definition of minute

A minute is a unit of time that equals 60 seconds, or 1/60th of an hour. Throughout history, the minute has been a crucial measure of time, allowing people to divide their hours into smaller, more manageable portions. Originating from ancient Babylonian timekeeping systems, the concept of the minute was further refined by medieval European clockmakers. In modern times, the minute is universally recognized and used across various fields, including science, industry, and everyday life. Its utility extends from synchronizing global time systems to structuring our daily schedules, reflecting its enduring significance in human society.
