How many hours in 972 weeks?

Conversion formula

The conversion factor from weeks to hours is 168, which means that 1 week is equal to 168 hours:

1 wk = 168 hr

To convert 972 weeks into hours we have to multiply 972 by the conversion factor in order to get the time amount from weeks to hours. We can also form a simple proportion to calculate the result:

1 wk → 168 hr

972 wk → T_(hr)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the time T in hours:

T_(hr) = 972 wk × 168 hr

T_(hr) = 163296 hr

The final result is:

972 wk → 163296 hr

We conclude that 972 weeks is equivalent to 163296 hours:

972 weeks = 163296 hours

Conversion units

The units involved in this conversion are weeks and hours. This is how they are defined:

Week

A week (symbol: wk) is a time unit equal to seven days. It is the standard time period used for cycles of rest days in most parts of the world, mostly alongside—although not strictly part of—the Gregorian calendar. The days of the week were named after the classical planets (derived from the astrological system of planetary hours) in the Roman era. In English, the names are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Hour

An hour (symbol: h; also abbreviated hr.) is a unit of time conventionally reckoned as 1⁄24 of a day and scientifically reckoned as 3,599–3,601 seconds, depending on conditions. The seasonal, temporal, or unequal hour was established in the ancient Near East as 1⁄12 of the night or daytime. Such hours varied by season, latitude, and weather. It was subsequently divided into 60 minutes, each of 60 seconds. Its East Asian equivalent was the shi, which was 1⁄12 of the apparent solar day; a similar system was eventually developed in Europe which measured its equal or equinoctial hour as 1⁄24 of such days measured from noon to noon. The minor variations of this unit were eventually smoothed by making it 1⁄24 of the mean solar day, based on the measure of the sun's transit along the celestial equator rather than along the ecliptic. This was finally abandoned due to the minor slowing caused by the Earth's tidal deceleration by the Moon. In the modern metric system, hours are an accepted unit of time equal to 3,600 seconds but an hour of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) may incorporate a positive or negative leap second, making it last 3,599 or 3,601 seconds, in order to keep it within 0.9 seconds of universal time, which is based on measurements of the mean solar day at 0° longitude.
