Definition
A fortnight is a unit of time equal to 14 days, or two weeks (1,209,600 seconds).
Mathematical Relationship
1 fortnight = 14 d = 2 wk = 336 h = 1,209,600 s.

About Hour (h)
Definition
The hour is a unit of time equal to 60 minutes, or 3,600 seconds.
Mathematical Relationship
1 h = 60 min = 3,600 s = 3.6 × 10⁶ ms. There are 24 hours in a day and 8,760 in a non-leap year.
Conversion Formula
To convert hours to minutes: multiply by 60. To convert hours to seconds: multiply by 3,600.
Practical Applications
Work schedules, flight durations, speed limits (km/h, mph), cooking times, and pay rates (hourly wages).
Interesting Facts
Before mechanical clocks, 'hours' varied by season — a summer daytime hour was longer than a winter one. These were called 'temporal hours.'
Common Mistakes
Converting decimal hours to minutes/seconds incorrectly: 2.5 h = 2 h 30 min, not 2 h 50 min. Think base-60.
Educational Tips
The kilowatt-hour (kWh) on your electric bill is energy = power × time. 1 kWh = using 1,000 watts for 1 hour.
