About the hour and the day
An hour is 60 minutes or 3,600 seconds. Working time, travel time, billing and battery capacity (watt-hours) use hours.
A day is 24 hours, or 86,400 seconds. A solar day varies slightly, but civil time defines the day as exactly 86,400 seconds.
One day equals 24 hours, which makes the day the longer unit of the two.
