How long is 59 days?

Answer 1

One Earth Day is 24 hours long. One hour is 60 minutes long. One minute is 60 seconds long. So, we can figure out the value of 59 earth days by multiplying these increments by the correct conversion values. Our final value will be in units of seconds as the second is the SI unit of time.

59 earth days X 24 hours = 1416 hours

1416 hours X 60 minutes = 84960 minutes

84960 minutes X 60 seconds = 5097600 seconds

59 earth days = 1416 hours = 84960 minutes = 5097600 seconds

For reference, 60 seconds is the time it takes for the second hand, the fast moving hand, of a clock to make one full revolution, or for the last digit of a standard digital clock to change. A typical prime-time television show, like "The Office," lasts about 30 minutes including commercials, and two of these lasts an hour. That means that in 59 earth days, one could watch 2832 episodes of "The Office" with commercials, assuming they found a way to never sleep. A day is the time it takes for the earth to make one full revolution, which can be approximately measured by the time it takes for a viewer to observe the stars of the night sky in the same location two nights in a row.
