How the seconds to days converter works
Time converts through the second. Minutes, hours, days and weeks are exact multiples. A month is taken as the Gregorian average (30.436875 days) and a year as the Gregorian average (365.2425 days = 31,556,952 s); calendar months and leap years vary from these averages.
The UK is metric for most trade and science but keeps miles, pints, stone and mpg (with the imperial gallon) in daily life.
