Do Albany and buffalo have the same solar noon time?
No, because of the difference between their longitudes, mean local noon at Buffalo (12:16 PM EST) is about 20½ minutes after mean local noon at Albany (11:55 AM EST).
Yes.
There are 60 minutes in 1 hour. So 2 hours = 60 * 2 = 120 minutes.
It is quite simple. If it takes 11.57 days for 1 million seconds to pass, then it is just that number multiplied by 1000, which would be 11,570 days. (Which divided by 365 is 31 years and a little over 8 months.)
So if this fact is correct that 1 million seconds is 11.57 days, then I conclude that:
1 billion seconds = 31.7 years!
What do you want to convert it into? If you want years, each year has 365.2422 days (or around 365 days); just divide 472 by 365, to find the equivalent in years.
If it is 1200 Pm on Tuesday what time and date is it in Japan?

When do you need to change minutes to hours and hours to minutes?

What are 3 twelfths of 4 hours?
There are 60 minutes in an hour
A twelfth of an hour is 5 minutes,
Three-twelfths of one hour is (3 x 5) = 15 minutes.
Three-twelfths of four hours is (4 x 15) = 60 minutes.
So, three-twelfths of 4 hours is 1 hour.
For historical reasons. Probably 60 was popular because it has several factors. Nowadays it seems more convenient to change to a decimal system, but it will be hard to change that; perhaps this change will never occur.

How many seconds in 24 hours 34 mins and 7 sec?

How many years has it been since the year 1140?
Assuming that you mean 1140 AD it has been 872 years. If you're meaning BC it's been 3152 years*.
1140 years (gets us to 0 AD) + 1140 years (gets us to 1140 AD) + 872 years (gets us to 2012 AD).
How do clocks help the society?
Clocks help society to co-ordinate its activities, and to navigate.
Clocks contribute to effectiveness and efficiency, and enable efficiency to be measured and monitored
Clocks enable us to have a tangible and standardardised and explicit representation of duration. In the absense of clocks, time would seem to run at different speeds for different people, and for us, at different times, depending on our activity or lack of it.
