How many seconds are in a year?

Answer 1

31,536,000

Answer 2

There are 31,536 000 seconds in an "ordinary" calendar year.

There are 31,622,400 seconds in a "Leap" calendar year

There are 31,556,000 seconds (rounded) in earth's orbital revolution. That is the true length of one year - and you may say your calendar doesn't show another .242199 days, but that is the time it takes for the Earth to make one complete revolution around the Sun. However, your calendar is not wrong. The Earth rotates 360 degrees in precisely 24 hours, yes, but as it moves around the Sun, the angle is slightly different and needs to turn one more degree to complete a "solar day".

By the Gregorian Year

The Gregorian calendar uses a year 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes and 12 seconds long. This is equal to 31,556,952 seconds.

The Lighter Side

As a trick question.. The answer would be 12 or 24 "seconds" in a year :

2nd of JAN, 2nd of FEB, and so forth = 12 (2nd of each month)

22nd Jan , 22nd Feb till 22nd Dec = 24 (2nd and 22nd of each month)
There are 31536000 seconds in 1 year.
1 year = 31,556,926 seconds.
60sec*60min*24hr*365day = 31,536,000 seconds.
31536000 seconds. 31622400 in a leap year.

Answer 3

If it is not a leap year and has no leap seconds, then it will comprise 31536000 seconds.

Answer 4

On average, 1 year = 31557600 seconds.
