What are Year and Second

A year is a unit of time commonly used to measure the duration of events or intervals between them. Traditionally, it is based on the Earth's orbital period around the Sun, taking approximately 365.25 days to complete one cycle. In various calendars, a year can have different numbers of days, such as 365 in a common year or 366 in a leap year, with an extra day added to February to maintain alignment with Earth's revolutions around the Sun.

A second is the base unit of time in the International System of Units (SI) and is defined as the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the cesium-133 atom at 0 Kelvin. It is one of the seven SI base units and is used widely in various scientific, navigational, and common daily timekeeping applications.
