About Megayears
A megayear (1 Ma) = 10⁶ yr ≈ 3.156 × 10¹³ s - the timescale of geology and tectonic evolution. The K-Pg mass extinction at 66.0 Ma; Cambrian explosion ~538.8 Ma; Great Oxygenation Event ~2,400 Ma. Plate motion at 2-10 cm/yr = 200-1,000 km per Ma (Atlantic ~3,000 km wider since Pangaea rifting ~200 Ma ago). Background extinction rate measured in extinctions per million species-years. 1 Ma = 10⁶ yr.
About Months
A mean Gregorian calendar month = 365.2425 ÷ 12 = 30.436875 days = 2,629,746 s exactly (averaged over the 400-year cycle with exactly 97 leap years). Individual months have 28-31 days. Loan schedules, subscriptions, and mobile billing reference 'per month', requiring explicit agreement on meaning. ISO 8601 uses 'P1M'. 1 mo = 30.436875 d = 2,629,746 s.
