About these units

Year

The Julian year of 365.25 days was adopted by Julius Caesar in 46 BCE to align the calendar with the solar year. The Gregorian reform of 1582 refined this to 365.2425 days by modifying the leap year rule.

Day

The day has been the fundamental civil time unit since antiquity. All calendar systems anchor to the solar day, and years are counted as multiples of days.
