When we say "A Year", we mean the number of days it takes for our planet (Earth) to orbit the sun. A year for us is 365.25 days because that is how long it takes for Earth to orbit around the sun. This is also the reason why we have a leap year with one extra day every four years, to make up for the extra 0.25 of a day we don't count when our year/orbit completes.
