About converting Minutes to Days
Minutes (min) and Days (d) are both units of time, so converting between them is a single multiplication: multiply your Minutes figure by 0.0006944. Ten Minutes comes to 0.006944 Days, and a hundred works out at 0.06944 Days.
Rule of thumb: going from Minutes to Days divides, so the figure always shrinks — it takes about 1,440 Minutes to make a single Day. If your answer came out bigger, you have the conversion the wrong way round.
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.
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.
To put both in perspective: reading a page of a paperback takes about a minute, while a day is one turn of the Earth on its axis.
