Days: conversions & definition
A day here is a fixed duration of 24 hours. A local calendar day across a daylight-saving transition can have a different elapsed length; use a date/time tool for that task.

Keep the quantity consistent
Choose units that represent the same quantity and preserve the measurement conditions. A scale conversion changes the number and unit together; it does not change the physical amount or improve the accuracy of your measurement.
