1 billion seconds is a significant birthday or anniversary, being about 4 months shy of 32 years. 1 billion seconds is 31 years, 251 days, 13 hours, 34 minutes, 54.7843 seconds. But note that these are 365-day years, so you have to adjust for leap years. Remember, a leap year adds 1 day at the end of February on years that are divisible by 4, unless they're also divisble by 100, except when it's also divisible by 400.
A billion is a thousand millions. A million is a thousand thousands. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, the number of minutes in N seconds is determined by the proportion: (x min) / (N sec) = (1 min) / (60 sec) Apply similar reasoning to count the hours and days.,000,000/ 60 = 16666.66667 minutes-there is 60 sec. in a minute. 16666.66667/ 60 = 277.7777778 hours-there is 60 minutes in an hour. 277.7777778/ 24 = 11.57407407 days-there is 24 hours in a day. hope I helped.
