About the second and the minute

The second

The second (s) is the SI base unit of time. It has been defined since 1967 in terms of the cesium-133 atomic transition, specifically as 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom.

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.
