Detailed explanation-1: -A year is the amount of time it takes a planet to orbit its star one time. A day is the amount of time it takes a planet to finish one rotation on its axis. It takes Earth approximately 365 days and 6 hours to orbit the Sun. It takes Earth approximately 24 hours-1 day-to rotate on its axis.
Detailed explanation-2: -A year on Earth is approximately 365 days. Why is that considered a year? Well, 365 days is about how long it takes for Earth to orbit all the way around the Sun one time.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Earth orbits around the sun every 365.25 days. It takes a little more than 365 days for the Earth to make a complete trip around the sun. Other planets have different orbital times. It takes only 87 days for Mercury to orbit the sun, but 12 years for Jupiter to make the journey.
Detailed explanation-4: -calendar, every year is 365 days long, except for leap years which have an extra day. Every year that is divisible by four is a leap year.
