If you are referring to the orbit of the Earth, it means approximately 365.256 days has passed. Other planets in our solar system obviously take different paths, or "Orbits, thusly taking a different number of Earth days to complete one "Orbit of the Sun. For example, the planet Mercury is closest to the sun, thereby it has a smaller "Orbit" and completes 1 orbit of the Sun in approximately 88 Earth days. On the other extreme, the planet Neptune takes approximately 164.8 Earth Years (60,189 Earth Days)

The approximation of 365.256 Earth days per year is used. I hope this helps answer the question.
