Minute

A minute (min) is a unit of time equal to 60 seconds. It is commonly used to measure time intervals in everyday life, such as durations of activities, appointments, or events.

Origin:

The minute has its origins in ancient Egyptian astronomy and Babylonian mathematics, where time was divided into smaller units for more precise measurement. The division of an hour into 60 minutes comes from the sexagesimal (base-60) numeral system, which was used by the ancient Sumerians and Babylonians. This system was adopted for timekeeping due to its practical division into easily manageable parts (60). Over time, this system became standardized and was integrated into both mechanical clocks and astronomical observations, where time was divided into 60 minutes per hour. The minute continues to be widely used today in both everyday and scientific contexts.
