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 Weeks
A week (wk) = exactly 7 days = 604,800 s. The 7-day week derives from Babylonian astronomy assigning one of the seven classical celestial bodies to each day - preserved in English (Sun-day, Mon-day, Satur-day) and Romance language day names. It spread globally via Jewish, Christian, and Islamic calendars. ISO 8601 numbers weeks 1-52(53) with Monday as day 1. 365-day years contain 52 weeks + 1 day. 1 wk = 7 d = 604,800 s.
