About Hour (h)
A unit of time equal to exactly 60 minutes or 3,600 seconds. Hours are the primary unit of human work and travel: business hours and operating-hours signage, flight durations (FAA Part 121 / Part 135 commercial-flight operational limits in hours), professional billing rates (lawyers, consultants, contractors per BS 7000 / ISO 9001 service-billing conventions), labor regulations (US FLSA overtime threshold 40 h/week; EU Working Time Directive 48 h/week), and cooking times in recipes. The 24-hour day — divided since the Egyptian and Babylonian civilizations of antiquity into 12 daylight and 12 nighttime hours — is preserved in modern 12-hour clocks (US convention) and 24-hour military / ISO 8601 time notation (international scientific, aviation, and military convention; 14:30 ISO = 2:30 PM US). While not an SI base unit, the hour is officially accepted for use with the SI per the BIPM SI Brochure and appears in countless derived units (km/h vehicle speed, kWh electricity billing, m³/h industrial flow rates, BTU/h HVAC capacity).
About Minute (min)
A unit of time equal to exactly 60 seconds. Minutes are the everyday unit of short-duration human activities: meeting schedules (typical 15/30/60 min blocks in business calendars; legal-services billing typically per 6-minute = 0.1-hour increments per ABA + RICS practice); commute times (US Census ACS American Community Survey reports mean US commute as 27.6 min one-way); cooking and recipe timings (CSA + FoodSafety.gov + ISO 22000 HACCP timing in minutes); music track durations (typical pop song 3-4 min per IFPI; classical movement 5-25 min); exercise interval-training protocols (HIIT 30-second / 90-second blocks; Pomodoro Technique 25-min work / 5-min break per Cirillo 1980s methodology); athletic-event durations (NBA quarter 12 min; NFL quarter 15 min; soccer half 45 min); medical NIH+CDC protocols (basic life support CPR cycles 2 min); ISO 8601 date-time format hh:mm:ss universally separates hours from minutes with colon. Originating from medieval Latin 'pars minuta prima' (first small part of an hour). While minute is not an SI base unit, it is officially accepted for use alongside SI per BIPM SI Brochure 'non-SI units accepted for use with SI' (Table 8, with hour and day).
