How to Convert Years to Hours
To convert a measurement in years to a measurement in hours, multiply the time by the following conversion ratio: 8,765.82 hours/year.
Since one year is equal to 8,765.82 hours, you can use this simple formula to convert:
hours = years × 8,765.82
The time in hours is equal to the time in years multiplied by 8,765.82.
For example, here's how to convert 5 years to hours using the formula above.
hours = (5 yr × 8,765.82) = 43,829.1 hr
How Many Hours Are in a Year?
There are 8,765.82 hours in a year, on average, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 yr = 8,765.82 h
This amounts to 8,760 hours in a normal year, or 8,784 hours in a leap year. So, it's important to consider whether the year you're converting is a leap year, since a leap year has an extra 24 hours.

What Is a Year?
One year is the time it takes for the Earth to complete its orbit around the Sun. There are 365 days in a year, with the exception of the leap year when there are 366.
We have leap years because the Earth actually takes 365.2425 days to revolve around the sun, but we round to 365 for convenience. However, since we miss a quarter of a day per revolution around the sun, this means that we add an extra day to the year once every 4 years, hence the leap year.
Years can be abbreviated as yr (plural yrs), and are also sometimes abbreviated as y. For example, 1 year can be written as 1 yr or 1 y, and 2 years can be written as 2 yrs.
