About Hour (h)

A unit of time equal to 60 minutes or 3,600 seconds. Hours are the primary unit of human work and travel — business hours, flight durations, labor billing, and cooking times all use hours. The 24-hour day, divided since antiquity into 12 daylight and 12 nighttime hours, is preserved in modern 12-hour clocks and 24-hour military/ISO time notation. While not an SI base unit, the hour is accepted for use with SI and appears in countless derived units (km/h, kWh).

About Minute (min)

A unit of time equal to 60 seconds. Minutes are the everyday unit of short-duration human activities — meetings, commute times, cooking, music tracks, and exercise intervals. Originating from the Latin "pars minuta prima" (first small part) of an hour. Although not an SI unit, minutes are officially accepted for use alongside SI. Most schedules, appointment calendars, TV broadcasts, and audio player interfaces are built around minute-level granularity.
