About the hour and the minute
An hour is 60 minutes or 3,600 seconds. Working time, travel time, billing and battery capacity (watt-hours) use hours.
A minute is 60 seconds. Cooking timers, phone calls and bus schedules are measured in minutes.
One hour is 60 times the size of one minute, so it takes fewer hours than minutes to express the same amount.
