About Hours and Minutes
Hours (hr): Sixty minutes, derived from the Egyptian division of day and night into 12 parts each; the 24-hour day is much older than the modern second. Common uses: Work schedules, sleep tracking, journey lengths, billing (hourly rates), and any time interval longer than a few minutes.
Minutes (min): Sixty seconds; comes from the Latin pars minuta prima, 'first small part' (of an hour), with the second coming from pars minuta secunda, the second small part. Common uses: Cooking times, exercise intervals, scheduling, transit timetables, and most everyday time intervals between seconds and hours.
How the conversion works
Time uses fixed SI seconds. A day is exactly 86,400 seconds; a year (Julian) is 365.25 days = 31,557,600 seconds.
The exact relationship is minutes = hours × 60, which the calculator at the top of this page applies in both directions. Type into either field and the other updates immediately.
When this conversion matters
Converting between hours and minutes comes up wherever time measurements move between systems — from one country's conventions to another's, from a scientific reference to a practical specification, or from one industry's working unit to another's. The calculator and reference table above cover the everyday range; for unusual values you can type any number into either field.
