What is a Week and a Minute?

A week is a unit of time equal to seven days. It is not an SI unit but is widely used as a convenient cycle for organizing activities longer than a day but shorter than a month.

A minute is a unit of time equal to 60 seconds. It is also equal to 1/60th of an hour.

Note: The Week is part of the imperial/US customary system, primarily used in the US, UK, and Canada for everyday measurements. The Minute belongs to the imperial/US customary system.

History of the Week and Minute

The seven-day week has origins in ancient Babylonian astronomy, linked to the seven classical celestial bodies visible to the naked eye (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn). This system was adopted by the Jews and later spread through Christianity and Islam. While other cultures have used different week lengths throughout history, the seven-day week became dominant globally, particularly with the adoption of the Gregorian calendar.

The division of the hour into 60 minutes and the minute into 60 seconds originates from the Babylonians, who used a sexagesimal (base-60) system for mathematics and astronomy. This system was later adopted by Greek astronomers like Ptolemy. The term "minute" comes from the Latin "pars minuta prima" (first small part), referring to the first division of the hour.
