The Conversion Formula

To convert weeks to hours, multiply the value by the conversion factor: 1 wk = 168 h. For a worked example, suppose you need to convert 25 wk to hours: 25 × 168 = 4200 h. To convert in the opposite direction, divide by 168, or equivalently multiply by 0.00595238.

About weeks

The seven-day week has no basis in astronomy, unlike the day, month, or year. It likely originates from the seven celestial bodies visible to the naked eye (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn). It has been a continuous cycle for millennia, unbreaking even through calendar reforms. weeks are commonly used in Project sprints, Pregnancy (weeks), Pay periods, and School terms, Recovery times.

A pregnancy is typically 40 weeks.

About hours

The hour was originally defined as 1/12th of the time between sunrise and sunset, meaning hours changed length with the seasons! Fixed-length hours only became standard with the invention of mechanical clocks in the 14th century. It is the primary unit of labor and travel. hours are commonly used in Work shifts, Flight durations, Sleep tracking, and Battery life, Speed (per hour).

The ISS orbits the Earth every 1.5 hours.
