An hour is a unit of time, and a year is a much larger time period. To understand how many hours are in a year:
- A standard (non-leap) year has 365 days.
- Each day has 24 hours.
Multiplying these gives the total hours in a standard year: 365 days × 24 hours/day = 8,760 hours per year. For a leap year, which has 366 days: 366 days × 24 hours/day = 8,784 hours per year. There are also variations like the mean year (about 365.2425 days) with approximately 8,766 hours. So, broadly, an hour is 1/8,760th of a standard year.
