What are Week and Year

A week is a time unit consisting of seven days, universally recognized and used across various cultures and societies. It serves as a standard period for work cycles, events, and is widely used in planning and organization. Traditionally, the concept of a week has roots in ancient civilizations that aligned it with the seven celestial bodies visible to the naked eye, each day corresponding to a specific body.

A year is defined as the duration of time it takes for the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun. This period encompasses approximately 365.25 days, which is why we have a leap year every four years to maintain alignment with the Earth's revolutions. The concept of a year is fundamental in many cultural, legal, and administrative traditions, as it forms the basis for calendars and timekeeping.
