How Many Minutes Are there in a year?
As we are aware of an astronomical year is, on average, 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 45 seconds. Translating this into minutes, we find that there are 525948.75 minutes/year

The first attempt at answering this question is with an equation- \(100\times 365\) which equals 36,500 days. With this formula, 100 years are not accurately counted because it does not take leap years into consideration. So when February 29th is set as a leap year, the next day after which the date stays the same would only be February 28th. Thus, 36,500 days do not truly represent 100 years.
