What are Week and Hour

Definition of Week

A week is a time unit equal to seven days. It is the standard time period used for cycles of rest days in most parts of the world, mostly alongside—although not strictly part of—the Gregorian calendar. The seven-day week is recognized by international standards and is used by the majority of the world's people. It is the customary time frame for working and resting, with weekends traditionally serving as a time of leisure.

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 is a further subdivision of time into 60 minutes. It is used across various cultures and is one of the units in both the Imperial and US customary systems. Hours are commonly used to plan our day, schedule activities, and determine the duration of events.
