What is a minute?
A minute is 60 seconds, and 60 minutes make one hour. The division of the hour into 60 minutes traces back to the ancient Babylonians, who used a base-60 (sexagesimal) number system. Minutes are the everyday unit for scheduling meetings, timing tasks, and measuring short activities.
Minutes convert exactly to seconds, hours, days, and weeks. Conversions to months and years use the average month (30.44 days) and Julian year (365.25 days) because calendar lengths vary.
