A year is approximately 365 days long because it takes Earth about 365.25 days to orbit the sun once. This is known as a tropical year, which is the time it takes for the sun to return to the same position in the sky relative to Earth. To account for the extra 0.25 days, we add an extra day to the calendar every four years in a leap year.
