About Hours
An hour (h) = exactly 3,600 s. The 24-hour day traces to ancient Egypt (10 daylight hours + 2 twilight + 12 night star-rise periods). Time zones are integer or half-hour UTC offsets (exceptions: India +5:30, Nepal +5:45). The kilowatt-hour = 3,600,000 J; Tc-99m half-life = 6.0067 h. Drug dosing and pharmacokinetics are expressed in hours. 1 h = 3,600 s = 60 min = 1/24 day.
About Tropical Years
The tropical year = time from March equinox to the next = 365.24219 days = 31,556,925.2 s - the year that governs the seasons. The Gregorian 97/400 leap rule approximates it as 365.2425 days, leaving a residual drift of only ~26.8 s/year. The tropical year shortens ~0.53 s per century due to tidal deceleration. Persian Solar Hijri and Mayan Haab' calendars also approximate it. 1 a_trop ≈ 365.24219 d.
