Conversion formula
How to convert 490 hours to years?

We know (by definition) that: 1 hr ≈ 0.00011407955 yr.

We can set up a proportion to solve for the number of years.

1 hr / 490 hr ≈ 0.00011407955 yr / x yr

Now, we cross multiply to solve for our unknown x:

x yr ≈ (490 hr / 1 hr) * 0.00011407955 yr → x yr ≈ 0.0558989795 yr

Conclusion:

490 hr ≈ 0.0558989795 yr

Conversion in the opposite direction

The inverse of the conversion factor is that 1 year is equal to 17.8894138178449 times 490 hours.

It can also be expressed as: 490 hours is equal to 1 / 17.8894138178449 years.

Approximation

An approximate numerical result would be: four hundred and ninety hours is about zero point zero six years, or alternatively, a year is about seventeen point eight nine times four hundred and ninety hours.

Units involved

This is how the units in this conversion are defined:

Hours

"Midnight (or noon) on a 12-hour analog clock An hour is a unit of time conventionally reckoned as 1⁄24 of a day and scientifically reckoned as 3,599–3,601 seconds, depending on conditions.The seasonal, temporal, or unequal hour was established in the ancient Near East as 1⁄12 of the night or daytime. Such hours varied by season, latitude, and weather. It was subsequently divided into 60 minutes, each of 60 seconds. Its East Asian equivalent was the shi, which was 1⁄12 of the apparent solar day; a similar system was eventually developed in Europe which measured its equal or equinoctial hour as 1⁄24 of such days measured from noon to noon. The minor variations of this unit were eventually smoothed by making it 1⁄24 of the mean solar day, based on the measure of the suns transit along the celestial equator rather than along the ecliptic. This was finally abandoned due to the minor slowing caused by the Earths tidal deceleration by the Moon.In the modern metric system, hours are an accepted unit of time equal to 3,600 seconds but an hour of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) may incorporate a positive or negative leap second,[a] making it last 3,599 or 3,601 seconds, in order to keep it within 0.9 seconds of universal time, which is based on measurements of the mean solar day at 0° longitude."

Years

"A year is the orbital in which Earth moves in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by changes in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the globe, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked."
