Why does a million seconds equal to 12 days but a billion seconds equals 31 years?

Question

I did the math for 31 years but its only 978 million seconds. Almost a billion but not quite.

Answer 1

what area does £1million take and what area doe £1billion take

Answer 2

I know how you're thinking how can the next 'lion' be that much different? Like in counting 1,2,3 etc. but, a billion is 1000 times greater than a million. This means that if it takes about 12 days to get to a million then it will take 1000 times that for a billion, or 12,000 days. Thus giving close to 32 years because 12,000/365 = over 32 years. Yet when you go more exact it'll come between 31 and 32 years ( over 31 less than 32 ) due to leap year and things like that.

Answer 3

a million seconds equal to 12 days because (idk) i dont know i cant  do the math!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   :O :P :D
