What are Year and Minute

A year is a unit of time traditionally based on the Earth's orbital period around the Sun. It is used to measure extended periods and is a key component of calendars. The standard definition of a year is 365 days, but a leap year contains 366 days to account for the additional time the Earth takes to complete an orbit, approximately 365.25 days. Specific types of years, like Julian, Gregorian, and sidereal, vary slightly in duration due to celestial dynamics.

A minute is a unit of time that is equal to 1/60th of an hour or 60 seconds. In historical context, the minute was defined as 1/60th of a degree of arc in ancient civilizations using early timekeeping and astronomical methods. Today, it is universally accepted as a standard measure of time used in various disciplines, including science, engineering, and regular day-to-day activities, providing a concise period for coordination and synchronization.
