What are Year and Fortnight

A year, specifically a tropical year, is the time it takes for the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun. This is approximately 365.24 days, which is the basis for the Gregorian calendar year. The slight discrepancy from 365 days is corrected by leap years, ensuring that our calendar remains in alignment with Earth's solar orbit.

A fortnight is a traditional unit of time that equals two weeks, or specifically, 14 days. It is a term commonly used in the United Kingdom and other countries to describe a period of two weeks. The word itself is derived from the Old English phrase 'feowertyne niht', meaning 'fourteen nights'.

Before the adoption of standardized calendars, time was often measured in simpler cycles like days, weeks, and fortnights.
