What are Year and Decade

A year is a unit of time that traditionally represents the time it takes for the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun. While this period slightly varies due to celestial mechanics, in the Gregorian calendar it is defined as 365 days, with a leap year occurring every four years to include an additional day, making it 366 days, to maintain alignment with Earth's revolutions around the Sun.

A decade is a unit of time that spans ten years. The term is derived from the Latin word 'decas', which means 'ten of something'. Decades are commonly used as a measure of time to understand and organize historical events, cultural shifts, and generational changes. They provide a structured way to reflect on changes over a significant, yet comprehensible, time period.
