cent = d × 2.737907007e-5
About Days
A day (d) = exactly 86,400 s. Earth's actual solar day varies ±16 s due to orbital eccentricity and axial tilt (equation of time). Leap seconds (abandoned in UTC after 2035) corrected the TAI-UT1 divergence. Mars's sol = 24 h 39 min 35 s ≈ 88,775 s; a Martian year = 668.6 sols. The day structures circadian biology, tides, and planetary science. 1 day = 86,400 s = 24 h.
About Centuries
A century = exactly 100 Gregorian years ≈ 3.156 × 10⁹ s. Standard unit of historical periodisation (the 20th century, the 18th-century Enlightenment). IPCC projects warming and sea-level rise on century timescales. Precession of the equinoxes advances ~1.39°/century, so zodiac constellations no longer match their named seasons. Ice-core and radiocarbon records are commonly displayed at century resolution. 1 century = 100 yr.
