Decimal hour

Decimal hour

A system of timekeeping where the day is divided into 10 equal parts, each called a decimal hour. In this system, a decimal hour is further divided into 100 decimal minutes, and each decimal minute is divided into 100 decimal seconds. This system is based on the concept of decimalization, which aims to simplify and standardize units of measurement. The decimal hour system is not commonly used in everyday life and is primarily of historical and theoretical interest. It provides an alternative way to measure time, but it is not widely adopted or recognized compared to the standard 24-hour system based on hours, minutes, and seconds.
