What are Century and Year

A century is a period of 100 years. The term is derived from the Latin 'centuria' and is often used to reference a specific span within a chronological timeline. Centuries are numbered ordinally in English and many other languages. A century starts in a year that ends with '01' and ends in a year that is divisible by '100'. For example, the 20th century began in 1901 and ended in 2000.

A year is a unit of time, typically based on the Earth's orbit around the Sun, which takes approximately 365.25 days. This period is used as a standard measure of time to coordinate calendars and reckon the passage of time. The concept of a year varies in different calendar systems but usually includes either 365 days or 366 days (in a leap year).
