What are Year and Month

A year is a unit of time that represents the period it takes for the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun. This duration is approximately 365.25 days in the Gregorian calendar, which is why every fourth year, known as a leap year, includes an extra day to maintain calendar alignment with Earth's position in its orbit.

A month is a unit of time traditionally based on the lunar cycle, which is the period it takes for the Moon to complete one orbit around Earth and pass through its phases. In the Gregorian calendar, a month ranges from 28 to 31 days, with the average month lasting about 30.44 days.
