Year

A year is the amount of time it takes for a solar body to revolve around another body. The earth takes 365 days, five hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds to make its journey around the sun. In the Gregorian calendar, a year is divided into 12 months that conform loosely to the phases of the moon.  The calendar begins on January 1 and concludes on December 31.
