About Time Conversions

Time spans twelve orders of magnitude here, from nanoseconds (billionths of a second, the scale of a single CPU cycle) up to centuries. Most of the relationships are exact and familiar: 60 seconds to a minute, 3,600 to an hour. Months and years are the trap, because their length depends on definition. The figures below use the Julian year of exactly 365.25 days, the same year behind the astronomical light-year, and the Julian month of 30.4375 days, one-twelfth of that. Pinning those values avoids the 28-to-31-day swing of calendar months.
