Why the year has 365 days instead of 360 days?

The concept of a year being 365 days is based on the time it takes for the Earth to orbit the sun. This period, known as a tropical year, is approximately 365.24 days. This is why we have a leap year every four years to account for the extra 0.24 days, making the average year 365.25 days long.


Approximately how much does the earth travel in its orbit each day?

Yes, that is close enough for most purposes. 365.2422 days in a year, 360 degrees in a complete circle (year). If you divide, you get 0.9856 degrees per day. This is an average, since Earth's orbit isn't exactly circular.Yes, that is close enough for most purposes. 365.2422 days in a year, 360 degrees in a complete circle (year).

Convert the given time period to years, assuming a 360 day year. 3 months?

There are not 360 days in a year, so this is a somewhat odd question. Assuming that there are still 30 days in a month, then 3 months is 90 days, so 90/360 = 0.25 or 1/4 years.

190/365 = 38/73 73 is a prime number. If you use 360 for the days in a year you get 190/360 = 19/36 which is a more descriptive value. It is close to 19/38 which is 1/2 so 190 days is close to half of the year.
