There are 60 seconds in a minute and sixty minutes in an hour, so each hour is 3600 seconds. Multiply 24 to get days, and then 365.25 to get years, accounting for leap years. This is 31,557,600 seconds per year.
Divide 1,000,000,000 seconds by 31,557,600 seconds per year, and you get 31 years, 251 days, 7 hours, 46 minutes and 40 seconds.
(Why didn't I figure out the months? Because the months aren't equal!)
1 Gyr is 1 billion years, so 2.8 Gyr is 2.8 billion years ago.
3 hours = 3 hours PAST 12 o'clock = (3 x 1 billion) - 4.6 billion = 3 billion - 4.6 billion = -1.6 billion years = 1.6 billion years ago6 hours = 6 hours PAST 12 o'clock = -1.6 billion years + (3 x 1 billion) = -1.6 billion + 3 billion = 1.4 billion years ago
Almost 32 years ago (obviously the date will change depending on when the question is being asked... ie., in 2008 it's 1976, in 2032 it'll be 2000).
Well, darling, one quintillion seconds is a whopping 31,688,765 years. So, unless you've discovered the secret to immortality, you won't be around to witness that many seconds tick by. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the time you've got!
Well, honey, if you're asking how many years ago 5000 years ago was, the answer is pretty straightforward. 5000 years ago was, surprise surprise, 5000 years ago. Time may fly, but math is pretty consistent.
One billion seconds equals about 31.68 years. 31.68 years ago in 1978, Jimmy Carter was president.
One billion seconds ago is roughly the equivalent of 31.7 years ago, using the US definition of one billion. One billion is one thousand millions.
The solar system originated about 4.6 billion years ago.
This year minus 31 years 7 months (approx).
The Precambrian era began approximately 4.6 billion years ago, at the formation of the Earth, and lasted for about 4 billion years.
1 Gyr is 1 billion years, so 2.8 Gyr is 2.8 billion years ago.
it was about 1 billion years ago.
Sciences say that the sun was formed 4,600,000 years ago
Protists were first found in the fossil record around 2.1 billion years ago.
Earth formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago, not 50 billion years ago or 5 billion years ago. This age estimate is based on radiometric dating of meteorites and rocks on Earth.
Began 5 billion years ago
The first cells appeared about 3 billion years ago. This is based on fossel records (the earth is about 4.5 billion years old)
