What are Year and Hour

A year is a unit of time that traditionally denotes the period it takes for the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun. In astronomy, a sidereal year is the time taken by the Earth to orbit once around the Sun, relative to the fixed stars. It's approximately 365.25636 solar days, which is slightly longer than the calendar year due to precession and other factors.

An hour is a unit of time conventionally equal to 1/24th of a day and scientifically defined as 3,600 seconds. This division of the day into 24 equal parts is said to have originated in ancient Sumeria. Hours are used universally in our daily lives to organize events, record time, and coordinate activities.
