What are Year and Julian

A year is a unit of time, typically used to measure the duration of an event or the interval between events. Commonly, it represents the time it takes for the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun, which is about 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 45 seconds. This period is known as a solar or Gregorian year, which is the basis for the calendar most widely used today.

The term 'Julian' in the context of timekeeping refers to the Julian calendar, introduced by Julius Caesar in 45 BCE. It was based on a year that has 365 days divided into 12 months, with a leap day added to February every four years. However, in modern usage, 'Julian' often pertains to Julian day numbers, which are a continuous count of days since the beginning of the Julian Period used by astronomers to track and calculate astronomical events without the irregularities of calendar systems.
