Fun Fact

A full day contains exactly 86,400 seconds. That means no matter where you are on Earth, every midnight resets the same universal counter back to zero.

Historical Context

The practice of measuring time in seconds dates back to ancient Babylonian astronomy, where the base-60 numbering system was first developed. This system eventually influenced the modern structure of 60 seconds per minute and 60 minutes per hour.

Converting time into total seconds since midnight has become a standard method in computing and digital systems, as it simplifies comparisons, calculations, and storage of time values.
