How long is an hour?

Question

An hour in the USA is 60 minutes, and I thought an hour was an hour no matter where you were....however, I just read an answer that said there were only 22 hours in a day in Canada, since their hours are longer. So how long is an hour in Canada?

Answer 1

60 mins...same as ever

1 minute in canada is 60 and a half seconds...weird

3 minutes is 185 seconds

lol hope this helped

Answer 2

Is this a joke? You can't be serious.

Answer 3

1 bajillion minutes  

Answer 4

If your waiting to go into see a dentist an hour can seem to last for ever, if you're enjoying your self an hour goes past very quickly. But... If you just want to know how many minutes in an hour anywhere in the world... it's 60 minutes long and no different in Canada, the days are so called longer because the sun goes down at a later time in the day due to it's position in the sky and nothing else.

Answer 5

You should know better than to believe everything you read on the internet.

Answer 6

60 minutes, its the same everywhere

Answer 7

60 minutes

Answer 8

Good one.  It is from a Rick Mercer skit on 22 minutes

Answer 9

Well, you're not quite right.  Everything in Canada is measured in the metric system.  Everything in the metric system is based on the number 10.  So you see there are 10 hours a day in Canada, not 22.  Each hour has 100 minutes,  not 60.  Each minute has 100 seconds, not 60.  So by the time you do all the math and add everything up we only have 10 months in a year but a year only has 100 days and 100 days.  Each week actually has 10 days, and each days has 10 hours etc etc.

Simple enough eh?

Answer 10

60 minutes everywhere

Answer 11

60 minutes or 3,600 seconds.  

Answer 12

it doesnt really matter because time is non existant   "time is just a state of mind that causes people to lose there state of mind"

Answer 14

You'd better stop giving answers if you ask this kind of question! lol

Answer 15

It's 42 minutes in the winter; 68 minutes in the summer. Sorry Buk. I lied. Couldn't help it.

Answer 16

Maybe it means that the number of hours of daylight are less in Canada. because you are right, an hour is 60 minutes everywhere.

Answer 17

Were you reading about hours of daylight?  During the summer, some places in Northern Canada have 22 hours of daylight.  As in the sun can be seen for 22 hours, and not seen for 2 hours.
