What are Year and Day

A 'Year' is a unit of time that represents the period Earth takes to complete one orbit around the Sun. It typically consists of 365 days, but due to the actual orbital period being approximately 365.24 days, an extra day is added every four years, called a leap year, comprising 366 days. This adjustment maintains alignment with the seasons.

A 'Day' is a measurement of time based on Earth's rotation on its axis. It is defined as 24 hours, with each hour consisting of 60 minutes, and each minute composed of 60 seconds. However, the exact duration of a day can vary slightly due to variations in Earth's rotational speed caused by factors such as gravitational forces and the planet's non-spherical shape.

History of Year and Day

The concept of converting leap years to sidereal days stems from the need to understand celestial timing. Ancient astronomers recognized the slight discrepancy between a solar year and a sidereal day, leading to the creation of leap years to maintain calendar accuracy. This historical tool now serves as a bridge between our calendar system and the celestial cycles.
