How Many Seconds Are in a Day?

A day is the approximate time it takes for the Earth to complete one rotation. It is defined as exactly 86,400 seconds. To break it down further:

• 1 day = 24 hours
• 1 hour = 60 minutes
• 1 minute = 60 seconds

Therefore, we can calculate the total number of seconds in a day as follows:

Seconds in a day = 24 hours × 60 minutes × 60 seconds = 86,400 seconds

So, there you have it! There are precisely 86,400 seconds in a day.
