One hour of time is divided into 60 minutes, and one minute is divided into 60 seconds. Thus, a measurement of time such as 3:23:17 (3 hours, 23 minutes, and 17 seconds) can be interpreted as a whole sexagesimal number (no sexagesimal point), meaning 3 × 60 2 + 23 × 60 1 + 17 × 60 0 seconds.
This is a list of radioactive nuclides (sometimes also called isotopes), ordered by half-life from shortest to longest, in seconds, minutes, hours, days and years. Current methods make it difficult to measure half-lives between approximately 10 −19 and 10 −10 seconds. [1]

Midnight to 1 a.m. on a 24-hour clock with a digital face. An hour (symbol: h; [1] also abbreviated hr) is a unit of time historically reckoned as 1 ⁄ 24 of a day and defined contemporarily as exactly 3,600 seconds . There are 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day.
[9] [failed verification] Each degree was subdivided into 60 minutes and each minute into 60 seconds. [10] [11] Thus, one Babylonian degree was equal to four minutes in modern terminology, one Babylonian minute to four modern seconds, and one Babylonian second to 1 / 15 (approximately 0.067) of a modern second.
Using the definition of kè as 1 ⁄ 100 of a day, each kè is equal to 0.24 hours, 14.4 minutes, or 14 minutes 24 seconds. Every shí contains 8 1 ⁄ 3 kè, with 7 or 8 full kè and partial beginning or ending kè. These fractional kè are multiples of 1 ⁄ 6 kè, or 2 minutes 24 seconds.
Flight-time equivalent dose (FED) is an informal unit of measurement of ionizing radiation exposure. Expressed in units of flight-time (i.e., flight-seconds, flight-minutes, flight-hours), one unit of flight-time is approximately equivalent to the radiological dose received during the same unit of time spent in an airliner at cruising altitude.
For larger quantities, the system of minutes (60 seconds), hours (60 minutes) and days (24 hours) is accepted for use with the SI and more commonly used. When speaking of spans of time, the length of the day is usually standardised to 86 400 seconds so as not to create issues with the irregular leap second. [citation needed]
