To determine the number of seconds in a year with 365 days, you need to know the number of seconds in a day and then multiply it by the number of days in a year.
In a day, there are 24 hours, 60 minutes per hour, and 60 seconds per minute. Therefore, the number of seconds in a day is calculated as follows:
24 hours/day * 60 minutes/hour * 60 seconds/minute = 86,400 seconds/day
To find the number of seconds in a year, you multiply the number of seconds in a day by the number of days in a year:
86,400 seconds/day * 365 days/year = 31,536,000 seconds/year
Thus, a year of 365 days is equivalent to 31,536,000 seconds, which you can also write in scientific notation as 3.15 x 10^7 seconds.
Therefore, the statement that a year of 365 days is equivalent to 5.26 x 10^5 seconds is incorrect. The correct value is 3.15 x 10^7 seconds.
