Yes. It's an integral multiple of the 'second', which is defined and measurable within an accuracy
of 1 part in several billion, so in principle, the 'hour' is also measurable to that accuracy.

Is it true that an answer is as precise as the most precise measurement from which it was calculated?
No. An answer is only as precise as the least precise measurement from which it was calculated.
What measurement is more precise and accurate?
What determines how precise a measurement is
What is the more precise measurement 3 1-2 or 3 3-16?
3 3-16 is more precise. it gets a closer measurement. 1-2 means 0.5 of the unit measurement 3-16 means 0.1875 of the unit measurement
A measurement is precise if?
It is precise if it is repeatable.
Tell which measurement is more precise 178 in or 12 ft?
They are both as precise as the measuring tools. Precision is affected by the error introduced by the measurement or in a dimension, often known as the tolerance.A measurement in inches has a greater resolution than one in feet. 12 times the resolution in fact. However, a measurement of 178 inches that can be up to 15% out is not as precise as a measurement of 12 feet with a 1% possible error.
Can a measurement be precise without being accurate?
You can make a very precise measurement with a poorly calibrated device.
Which fraction is more precise one-sixth or one-fourth?
In and of themselves, 1/4 and 1/6 are equally precise. Used as units of measurement, distances measured to 1/6 of an inch are more precise than to 1/4 of an inch.
If a meter stick markings centimeters what could be a precise and accurate measurement of your foot?
1 meter
Is less precise instrument always more accurate?
No. Accurate relates to how close the actual measurement the instrument measures. Precise relates to how much detail the instrument gives when measuring. They are independent to each other: An measurement can be precise and accurate (eg the value of π is 3.141592654) An measurement can be precise and inaccurate (eg the value of π is 1.733677432) An measurement can be less precise and accurate (eg the value of π is 3.14) An measurement can be less precise and inaccurate (eg the value of π is 1.73).
What measurement device produces the most precise measurement?
measuring tape
Which measurement is more precise 19.2cm or 20 cm?
19.2cm is more precise
Is a accurate measurement automatically precise?
An automatically measurement has a higher precision than a manually measurement.
