How to Convert Seconds to Years with Python
The time()
method of Python's time
module returns the seconds since the epoch (1/1/1970 at midnight). To convert the number of seconds to years with Python, divide by seconds in a minute, minutes in an hour, hours in a day, and days in a year.
- Start with a number of seconds.
time.time()
will return something in the neighborhood of1466604569.0708675
:
Output:import time seconds = time.time() print(seconds)
1466604569.0708675
- Divide by 60 to get the number of minutes:
Output:minutes = seconds / 60 print(minutes)
24443409.48451446
- Divide by 60 to get the number of hours:
Output:hours = minutes / 60 print(hours)
407390.158075241
- Divide by 24 to get the number of days:
Output:days = hours / 24 print(days)
16974.58991980171
- Divide by 365.25 to get the number of years:
Output:years = days / 365.25 print(years)
