How is the length of a planets year determined?
A day is the period of time it takes the Earth to spin (rotation) and return to the same position of the overhead Sun. This is the "solar day" that is about 24 hours. A year is the period of time that it takes the Earth to complete one orbit (revolution) of the Sun. The comparison between the two is about 365.2425 days per year. The extra fractions of a day are combined every four years as a leap day, February 29. --- *The "solar day" (time taken for the Sun to go from one noon to the next) is longer than the "sidereal day" (time of rotation observed away from Earth, as seen in the positions of the stars) because the Earth is moving around the Sun. The actual rotation period is about 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.1 seconds. We use the "mean solar day" to average out the natural variations in the Earth's orbital speed, as determined by its distance from the Sun.
