The period of revolution is called the "year", and equals about 365.2426 days.

The Calendar and Leap Years

The Earth takes approximately 365 days and six hours to revolve around the Sun. The extra six hours accumulate into an entire day every four years, so that a "leap year" will contain the extra 366th calendar day. The extra day is added as February 29 which only exists in a leap year.

  • 346.62 days: a draconitic year or ecliptic year is the time taken for the Sun (as seen from the Earth) to complete one revolution with respect to the same lunar node (a point where the Moon's orbit intersects the ecliptic)..
  • 353, 354 or 355 days: the lengths of common years in some lunisolar calendars.
  • 354.37 days (12 lunar months): the average length of a year in lunar calendars, notably the Muslim calendar.
  • 365 days: a vague year and a common year in many solar calendars = 8,760 hours = 525,600 minutes = 31,536,000 seconds.
  • 365.24219 days: a mean tropical year (rounded to five decimal places) for the epoch 2000.
  • 365.2424 days: a vernal equinox year (rounded to four decimal places) for the epoch 2000.
  • 365.2425 days: the average length of a year in the Gregorian calendar = 52.1775 weeks = 8,765.82 hours = 525,949.2 minutes = 31,556,952 seconds (mean solar, not SI)..
  • 365.25 days: the average length of a year in the Julian calendar.
  • 365.2564 days: a sidereal year.
  • 366 days: a leap year in many solar calendars = 8,784 hours = 527,040 minutes = 31,622,400 seconds.
  • 383, 384 or 385 days: the lengths of leap years in some lunisolar calendars.
  • 383.9 days (13 lunar months): a leap year in some lunisolar calendars.
