Re: unless otherwise. Originally Posted by Hi_there_Carl. The meanings of unless and unless otherwise are very similar and often the same. The phrase unless otherwise is usually used in giving instructions to make them more clear. Here are some equivalent phrases using unless and unless otherwise:
Definition of minute. 1a : the 60th part of an hour of time : 60 secondsb : the 60th part of a degree of angular measure Its latitude is 41 degrees 55 minute north. 2 : the distance one can traverse in a minute Five minutes down the road is a gas station.
The unit of time is the second. The minute (60 seconds) and hour (60 minutes or 3600 seconds) are larger units. A day is usually said to be 24 hours, but is actually a little bit longer than that. This difference is corrected at the end of some years with what is called a leap second.
