What are Year tropical and Year leap

Definition of Year tropical

A tropical year, also known as a solar year, is the duration of time it takes the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun. This period is approximately 365.242190 days, slightly less than the 365.25-day calendar year used in the Gregorian calendar, which necessitates the use of leap years to stay in alignment with Earth's position in its orbit.

Definition of Year leap

A leap year is a calendar year that contains an additional day added to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical year or seasonal year. Due to the Earth's orbital period around the Sun taking approximately 365.24 days, an extra day is added to the calendar every four years to account for this discrepancy, resulting in a leap year of 366 days.
