Why one hour is equal to 3600 seconds?

An hour is defined as 60 minutes. and each minute is defined as 60 seconds.

1 hour=60 minutes×60 seconds per minute=3600 seconds\text{1 hour} = 60 \, \text{minutes} \times 60 \, \text{seconds per minute} = 3600 \, \text{seconds}

An hour is defined as 60 minutes, and each minute is defined as 60 seconds. To find out how many seconds are in one hour, you simply multiply the number of minutes in an hour by the number of seconds in a minute.

Here's the calculation:
1 hour=60 minutes×60 seconds per minute\text{1 hour} = 60 \, \text{minutes} \times 60 \, \text{seconds per minute}

1 hour=60×60=3600 seconds\text{1 hour} = 60 \times 60 = 3600 \, \text{seconds}

So, one hour is equal to 3600 seconds. This system of time measurement is based on the historically established and widely adopted sexagesimal (base-60) system, which has ancient origins in civilizations such as the Sumerians.
