To find out how many hours are in a year, you can use the following calculation:
Calculation of Hours in a Year
- 1 day = 24 hours
- 1 year = 365 days (common year) or 366 days (leap year)
For a common year (365 days):
365 days×24 hours/day=8,760 hours365\text{ days}\times 24\text{ hours/day}=8,760\text{ hours}365 days×24 hours/day=8,760 hours
For a leap year (366 days):
366 days×24 hours/day=8,784 hours366\text{ days}\times 24\text{ hours/day}=8,784\text{ hours}366 days×24 hours/day=8,784 hours
Summary:
- Hours in a common year: 8,760 hours
- Hours in a leap year: 8,784 hours
If you want a more precise average accounting for leap years over a 4-year cycle:
(3×8,760)+8,7844=8,766 hours (average per year)\frac{(3\times 8,760)+8,784}{4}=8,766\text{ hours (average per year)}4(3×8,760)+8,784=8,766 hours (average per year)
