What are Year and Tropical

Definition of Year

A year is a time unit that represents the time it takes for the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun. It is traditionally associated with the Earth's seasons and is used as a basic unit of time in calendars. A standard calendar year consists of 365 days, with a leap year occurring every four years to account for an additional quarter of a day accumulated each year, adding an extra day to the calendar.

Definition of Tropical

The term 'tropical' refers to the tropics, the region of the Earth surrounding the equator. It is characterized by warm temperatures and significant seasonal changes in precipitation. The word can also relate to the 'tropical year,' which is the time the Sun takes to return to the same position in the cycle of seasons, as seen from Earth, approximately 365.24 days. This is slightly shorter than the calendar year due to precession and other orbital variations.
