If the Earth takes one year to orbit the sun and the frequency is f = 1/T with T being the period.
Then what would the period be ? I am use to dealing with seconds and minutes but this question involves a year.

What units do you need the final result in? – Jacob Nov 30 '16 at 22:09

Well I'm calculating frequency which is hz but for the period it should be seconds I presume. – Dan Nov 30 '16 at 22:18

1Right, hz is $s^{-1}$. Do you know how to convert from years to seconds? – Jacob Nov 30 '16 at 22:20

No I don't know. – Dan Nov 30 '16 at 22:21

$T={1\over f}=1 year=365day*24{h\over day}*60{min\over h}*60{s\over min}=31536000s\approx3.15*10^7s$
