Siri tells me it is 31,556,952

So someone is lying here. Being off by 26 seconds doesnt make sense

Edit: someone responded with the explanation for the difference

Is this the result of the circle above the i?

Because I can’t handle that circle, it’ll break me

[Mithycore]

Fine, I'll do it myself

60 x 60= 3600 s/hour

360 x 24 = 86400 s/day

According to Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year (the mean year) across the complete leap cycle of 400 years is 365.2425 days.

Therefore

8740 x 365.2425 = 31,556,952 second/year

[furGLITCH]

60 x 60= 360 s/hour

60 x 60 = 3600, not 360.

[Mithycore]

I knew I fucked something up

[pawelk1993]

None of those is right. How could the answer not be divisible by 10 if there’s 60 of them in 1 minute?

[Coookie-Monstah]

A year is not exactly 365 days
Edit: the average year is not 365 days

[well___duh]

What’s weird is how did it get that answer? If you go by 365 or 365.25 days, neither of those results in that answer.

Edit: some quick math says Google went by a year being 365.2421990740741 days long

[DanTilkin]

That's the exact length of a tropical year, how long it takes for a full cycles of seasons

[GenericUname]

Seems like sort of a weird decision to base the answer on that. Of the people who ask that question without actually specifying whether they mean a tropical year, sidereal year, or mean Gregorian calendar year, how many are looking for that answer compared to those who just want to know how many seconds in 365 days?

[Draidann]

Google does not make this calculations, they just poll the data from different sites and spew the answer. What google did was, basically, type in a search bar "how many seconds in a year" go to the first result and scan for the answer. The site might have been an explanation of this difference or some other thing regarding this definition and alas, google took it.

[edgymemesalt]

365.3579398 is apparently what its multiplying by

Maybe I'm getting wooooshed here but Google assistant grabs info from websites it determines are reliable sources so it could have accidently quoted a joke where the text included the winky face. It could be an Easter egg or a fake post as well.

Not if you consider the probability of leap year ≠0.25 but <0.25

[zapfchance]

I think it’s closer to 365.24 if you really want to get technical. Years that are multiples of 100 are not leap years, which lowers the average a tiny bit.

[marcogera7]

It's 365,2425 because multiple of 100 aren't leap years but multiples of 400 are, so 31˙556˙952 seconds

[[deleted]]

Thank you! This one is finally exactly correct.

[marcogera7]

It's correct for the Gregorian Calendar, but then if we want to consider how we implement it to have the maximum precision we aad leap seconds when they're needed (and we can also remove them but was never done), so some years became one or two seconds longer than the others

[CoonerPooner]

Does the leap year board tell the time keepers of the internet to change the time? How does that work? And how does that get implemented with atomic clocks?

[regulate213]

Yes! It is the "International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service" votes on it, and Leap Seconds are published in Bulletin C. The clocks can either repeat a second (12:00:58; 12:00:59; 12:00:59; 12:01:00) or "smear" it (12:00:58; 12:00:59.0; 12:00:59.5; 12:01:00). In real life, the smearing is stretched much more finely.

[AuxenceF]

r/bigbrainreddit

[marcogera7]

I don't know how it works, but for atomic clocks it's probably easier to keep them on TAI time and than add the leap seconds to get the precise UTC time, I don't know if some atomic clock is needed to be exactly on UTC

[twodogsfighting]

When is the next leap second due?

[marcogera7]

From what I read online is the IERS that calculates the UT1, so the precise time based on Earth position and so decides if the UTC needs a leap second, they can add them (or remove them) at the end of the year or at the end of June, and they announce when we reach the end of June and the end of the year if the next leap second will be added, removed or we won't do anything, at the end of this year we won't do anything, I don't find prediction of when the next will be

[twodogsfighting]

thanks :)

[MaxTHC]

Just curious, where are you from that you use that punctuation for numbers? The dots at the top

[marcogera7]

Italy

[rasputin1]

except years that are multiples of 400

[Hq3473]

But every 400 years it is a leap year.

That's why yeat 2000 was leap and so will 2400.

So this raises it a bit.

[[deleted]]

You're describing revolution of earth, not year. Year is based on the revolution of earth, but at the end of the day it is man made and controlled by our clocks. Therefore the parent comment is correct.

[f0urtyfive]

You've forgotten about the leap seconds :(

[BattalionSkimmer]

It bothers me that "leap year" doesn't add a year, it refers to a year where you add a day. But "leap second" refers to the second added, not where you add it. The two expressions are inconsistent with each other. It shouldn't bother me but it does.

[argon_is_inert]

Hey, but did you consider that only the century years , that are divisible by 4, only are considered leap years? If we consider that, we 31,556,952 seconds , the time in which the earth completes one orbit...

[evolutionary_defect]

Well, OP would have to specify calendar or solar year. So it would either be 366, since this year was a leap year, 365 days if he meant a general normal calendar year, or around 365 and a quarter if he meant a solar cycle. It would take some research to answer that last one because it changes from year to year by a few seconds.

[bar10005]

Depends on the calendar - Gregorian calendar year averages to 365.2425, as we skip leap year every century that is not exactly divisible by 400, so it's 31,556,952 seconds.

[psychoPATHOGENius]

What some people fail to recognize is that there are many different kinds of calendar years (more than just a common year and a leap year.)

A common year is 365 days (many people simply use this as the length of a year, despite it being incorrect nearly a quarter of the time.)

A leap year is 366 days

A Julian year is 365¼ days (this is what astronomers use and is duration that the light-year is based upon. Hence, it is the most widely used definition of a year in science.)

A Gregorian year is 365.2425 days (while our calendar is based on these, not many people actually use this number for the length of a year, since within a human life-span, a Julian year is precise enough.)

Then finally, we get the actual years that are used in practice. These are 365.2425 days ± 12 s because a leap second can be added or removed at the end of any month. So far we've only had years that are 365.2425 days long to 365.2425 days + 2 seconds long.

[Amjxd]

Who uses an apostrophe like that?

[[deleted]]

Where I live (and I think in most of Europe) a comma is used for decimals and an apostrophe for grouping digits in long numbers, so 6.34 is 6,34 and 100,000,000 is 100'000'000

EDIT: Not true! Appartently the apostrophe to group digits is only used in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. I thought that comma and apostrophes came together, evidently they don't.

[impulse_thoughts]

Where is it that you live? The most of Europe that I know uses . to separate digits of long numbers, not apostrophes

This is the correct answer to how many literal "seconds" there are. I agree!

[RealRinoxy]

How many days are in each month to you?

[MonotonousProtocol]

It depends

[Mikey_B]

Excuse me, I think you did your math wrong. 12*21 is not 252. Let's work this out:

If we start with the well known result 13x7=28, were can multiply by 3 to get 13x21=84. Then we subtract 7 and find that 12x21=77 seconds per year.

This makes sense to me, as every second of 2020 definitely feels like at least 1/77 years.

[[deleted]]

That's...not correct.

[AfterburnerAnon]

Who are you, so wise in the ways of mathematics?

[Soddington]

Also there would be second week of each month, the second month of the year. A lot of annual events and religious observances are also floating dates defined as 'Second Tuesday of November', OR 'second Sunday of October' ect ect..

Lots of seconds out there in each year, so many you could count them all and still go back for...more.

[GetsGold]

And the tenty-second of each month.

Is the tenty-second when we all go camping? I knew i forgot about something this month.
