1 billion seconds is a significant birthday or anniversary, being about 4 months shy of 32 years. 1 billion seconds is 31 years, 251 days, 13 hours, 34 minutes, 54.7843 seconds. But note that these are 365-day years, so you have to adjust for leap years. Remember, a leap year adds 1 day at the end of February on years that are divisible by 4, unless they're also divisble by 100, except when it's also divisible by 400.
Since units of length are units of distance, then the length of 1 billion seconds is how many meters (unit of distance) light travels in that time because a meter (again unit of distance) by definition is the distance light travels in 1/299792458 of a second.4 hours = 1 day (so that is 86,400 seconds). If you divide 1,000,000,000 by 86,400 you get 11,574.07 days. If you divide that by 365.25 (the number of days in a year) and you get 31.688 years. poldi Â· 7 years ago.
