In , the second was defined exactly as "9,,, times the period of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium atom. This new rigor does not affect how the second is used in everyday life. Current use: As the SI base unit of time, the second and its multiples are ubiquitous.
There are few, if any, modern applications in which time is measured in a form other than the second and its multiples. There are 12 lunar cycles in a year. The month time unit in this calculator tool is based on the modern Gregorian calendar month which is Here is the definition and more information about month.
A day is the time it takes the Earth to rotate around its axis and defined as seconds and symbolized as "d". Time Units The time units in the time converter tool are second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year, decade and century. What is a Year? Current use: The minute, as a multiple of the second, is used for all manner of measurements of duration, from timing races, measuring cooking or baking times, number of heart beats per minute, to any number of other applications.
The second was also defined as a fraction of an extrapolated year in the late s with the advent of quartz crystal oscillator clocks. This definition was adopted as part of SI in In , the second was defined exactly as "9,,, times the period of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium atom.
