This sheet includes answers to questions like, "How many minutes are in a month?" or "How many nanoseconds are in a dog year?" It covers 58 different time measures, and the conversions are essentially exact (to 9 decimal places where needed). Examples of small time units are: Becquerel wavelengths, femtoseconds, picoseconds, winks, and shakes. Examples of large time units are: lifetimes, centuries, millenniums, Moon phases, Venus orbits, and Mars orbits. (By the way, a lightyear is a distance, not a time span.) This sheet does calculations based on nine (!) different years: tropical years, sidereal years, anomalistic years, ecliptic years, Gaussian years, Gregorian years, Julian years, civil years, and 365-day years. That should stump even your best astronomer friends... Enjoy!
