The international definition was originally 1/86400th of a mean solar day in 1900, but is now instead the time required for 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a Cs atom. Since the Speed of Light is defined to be 299,792,458 m s-1, this makes the Meter a derived unit. A mnemonic for the number of seconds in a Year is 1 nanocentury is approximately equal to Pi seconds (1 y = 3.156 x 107 s, whereas this approximation gives 3.14159 x 10 power of 7 s).
