Hour
An hour is a unit of time conventionally reckoned as 1/24 of a day and scientifically reckoned as 3,599 – 3,601 seconds, depending on conditions. There are 60 minutes in an hour, and 24 hours in a day. The hour was initially established in the ancient Near East as a variable measure of 1/12 of the night or daytime. Such seasonal, temporal, or unequal hours varied by season and latitude.Equal or equinoctial hours were taken as 1/24 of the day as measured from noon to noon; the minor seasonal variations of this unit were eventually smoothed by making it 1/24 of the mean solar day.
