What are Year and Nanosecond

Definition of Year

A year, specifically a sidereal year, is the time taken by the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun relative to the fixed stars. It amounts to approximately 365.25636 days of 24 hours each. This period of revolution is slightly longer than the solar year due to the precession of the equinoxes.

Definition of Nanosecond

A nanosecond is a unit of time that represents one billionth of a second. This extremely short span of time is used in computing and telecommunications to measure time intervals of signal cycles and the speed of data transfer. Nanoseconds are crucial in high-speed processes and precision timekeeping.
