What are Day sidereal and Year

A Day sidereal, also known as a sidereal day, is the time it takes for the Earth to complete a single rotation around its axis relative to the background stars. This period is approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.091 seconds. The sidereal day is slightly shorter than the solar day, which is based on the Earth's rotation relative to the Sun.

A year is a unit of time that represents the period necessary for the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun. This time span is approximately 365.25 solar days, which takes into account the extra quarter of a day that accumulates each year, leading to the addition of a leap day every four years. The concept of a year is used in many calendars to organize the passage of time.
