The similar concept of a man-day, man-week, man-month, or man-year [3] [4] is used on large projects. It is the amount of work performed by an average worker during one day, week, month, or year, respectively. The number of hours worked by an individual during a year varies greatly according to cultural norms and economics.
The poles are still cold during their respective summers, despite seeing 24 hours of daylight for six months, while the Equator remains warm throughout the year, with only 12 hours of daylight per day. Although the daytime length at the Equator remains 12 hours in all seasons, the duration at all other latitudes varies with the seasons.
In U.S. military use, 24-hour time is traditionally written without a colon (1800 instead of 18:00). For exact hour times, they are referred to as "hundred", so 10:00 would be referred to as "ten hundred hours" and 11:00 as "eleven hundred hours", from the mathematical interpretation of the numeral sequence.
Such seasonal hours, also known as temporal hours or unequal hours, varied by season and latitude. Equal hours or equinoctial hours were taken as 1 ⁄ 24 of the day as measured from noon to noon; the minor seasonal variations of this unit were eventually smoothed by making it 1 ⁄ 24 of the mean solar day .
