What are Day and Octennial

A day is a unit of time traditionally reckoned as 1/24 of a week and approximately 1/365.25 of a year. Based on the Earth's rotation, a day is defined as the period during which the planet completes one full rotation around its axis, which is approximately 24 hours. It's recognized universally as a fundamental unit of time, and it is not part of the International System of Units (SI).

An octennial period refers to a span lasting eight years. The term 'octennial' is not commonly used in day-to-day conversation but is rather found in specific contexts such as government terms, periodic censuses, or certain long-term analyses. Although it is not a standard SI unit, it serves as a convenient measure for time spans that are significant yet do not warrant a decadal scale.
