What are Year and Hour

A year is a unit of time that typically represents the period it takes for the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun. In the Gregorian calendar, a common year consists of 365 days, while a leap year contains 366 days, with an extra day in February. Years are used to measure longer periods of time, historical events, and for personal age. The Julian year, used in astronomy, is precisely 365.25 days, reflecting the average length of a year in the Julian calendar.

An hour is a unit of time conventionally reckoned as 1/24th of a day and scientifically counted from midnight to midnight. It is divided into 60 minutes and each minute is further divided into 60 seconds. This division of the day into 24 equal parts is thought to have originated with the ancient Egyptians. Nowadays, the hour is a standard time measurement unit used globally for various purposes, including work, travel, and the demarcation of time during the day.
