About the hour and the minute
The hour
The hour (h) equals exactly 3,600 seconds, or 60 minutes. It is the standard unit for daily scheduling, employment, and short-distance travel time. Like the minute, it is accepted for use with the SI but is not strictly part of the SI system.
The minute
The minute (min) equals exactly 60 seconds. The sexagesimal division of the hour into 60 minutes (and the minute into 60 seconds) descends from ancient Babylonian astronomy. The minute is accepted for use with the SI even though it is not formally part of it.
