What are Second and Minute

A second, in terms of time measurement, is the base unit of time in the International System of Units (SI). It is defined as the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom at absolute zero temperature.

A minute, in the context of time, is a unit of temporal measurement equal to 1/60th of an hour or 60 seconds. Historically, it was based on the second being 1/86400 of an Earth day, which is derived from the first sexagesimal system—a numeral system with sixty as its base, developed by the Sumerians around 2000 BC.
