Hour

Hour is a common time measurement unit equal to 60 minutes, 3,600 seconds, or 1/24 of solar day. The unit is used and recognized by SI and has the symbol of h. Though the history of using an hour as a part of solar day is believed to be starting from the epochs of Ancient Egypt, the concept of an hour as we know it now emerged in the early 13^th century, when scientists in Ancient Greece came up with the idea of dividing a solar day exactly into 24 equal parts.

How to Calculate Hours to Minutes

1 hour = 3.6 × 103 seconds
1 minute = 6 × 101 seconds

1 hour = (3.6 / 6) × 103 × 10-1 minutes
1 hour = (0.6) × 103-1 minutes
1 hour = (0.6) × 102 minutes
1 hour = 0.6 × 100 minutes
1 hour = 60 minutes
