About converting Days to Minutes
Days (d) and Minutes (min) are both units of time, so converting between them is a single multiplication: multiply your Days figure by 1,440. Ten Days comes to 14,400 Minutes, and a hundred works out at 144,000 Minutes.
Rule of thumb: going from Days to Minutes multiplies, so the figure always grows — one Day is already 1,440 Minutes. If your answer came out smaller, you have the conversion the wrong way round.
What is a Day?
A day is exactly 86,400 seconds — and that is a statement about the unit, not about the Earth. A real solar day varies slightly depending on winds, tides and what the planet’s core is doing, and tidal friction is gradually lengthening it. The gap between the tidy unit and the untidy planet is what leap seconds patch over. Astronomers also distinguish the solar day from the sidereal day, one full rotation relative to the stars, which is about four minutes shorter because the Earth has meanwhile moved along its orbit.
What is a Minute?
A minute is sixty seconds, and the sixty is a Babylonian inheritance. Ancient astronomy counted in base 60, and that arithmetic survives in two places: the division of the hour into minutes and seconds, and the division of the degree into arcminutes and arcseconds — the same words, the same ancestry. The names are Latin bookkeeping: pars minuta prima, the "first small part" of an hour, and pars minuta secunda, the second one, which is where the second gets its name. The minute is not an SI unit, but it is officially accepted for use alongside them.
To put both in perspective: a day is one turn of the Earth on its axis, while reading a page of a paperback takes about a minute.
