How many seconds are in 1 day?

There are exactly 86,400 seconds in 1 standard day (24 hours × 60 minutes × 60 seconds).

How many hours are in a year?

A standard calendar year (365 days) has 8,760 hours. A leap year (366 days) has 8,784 hours.

How many milliseconds are in a second?

There are exactly 1,000 milliseconds in 1 second.

Why does a "month" use 30.44 days instead of a fixed number?

Calendar months genuinely vary from 28 to 31 days, so this converter uses the average length across a year (365.25 ÷ 12 ≈ 30.44 days) to give a consistent, reasonable approximation rather than picking one specific month arbitrarily.

Why is a year defined as 365.25 days instead of 365?

The extra quarter-day accounts for the leap year that occurs roughly every 4 years, which keeps the calendar aligned with Earth's actual orbital period (about 365.2422 days) — 365.25 is the standard approximation used for this kind of conversion.
