How accurate is converting years to months using 12 months per year?
This conversion assumes each month has equal length and ignores varying days in months. It’s precise for counting months but not exact for days or hours unless those factors are calculated separately.
Can negative years be converted to months?
Yes, negative years can be converted by multiplying by 12 resulting negative months. This might represents time before a reference point, useful in historical or scientific contexts.
