An hour is 1/8760 of a standard year since there are 8,760 hours in a regular year (365 days × 24 hours per day = 8,760 hours). So, 1 hour is approximately 0.000114 years. To give the exact number of hours in different types of years:
- Standard year: 8,760 hours
- Leap year: 8,784 hours (366 days × 24 hours)
- Mean year (average including leap years): About 8,766 hours
Thus, an hour represents a very small fraction of a year, specifically about 1/8760 of it in a standard year.
