What are Hour and Year

An hour is a unit of time conventionally reckoned as 1/24 of a day and scientifically reckoned as 3,599–3,601 seconds, depending on conditions. It represents a specific period during which certain activities or events occur. Historically, it was one of the earliest units of time to be used by humans.

A year is the time taken by a planet to make one revolution around a star. For Earth, a tropical year is approximately 365.24 days, defined as the time it takes for the Sun to return to the same position in the cycle of seasons. It provides the basic unit for time periods in calendars.
