Full bio

A year is a unit used to measure time.

Years can be abbreviated as yr (plural yrs), and are also sometimes abbreviated as y. For example, 1 year can be written as 1 yr or 1 y, and 2 years can be written as 2 yrs.

How Much Is a Year?

One year is the time it takes for the Earth to complete its orbit around the Sun. There are 365 days in a year, with the exception of the leap year when there are 366.

We have leap years because the Earth actually takes 365.2425 days to revolve around the sun, but we round to 365 for convenience. However, since we miss a quarter of a day per revolution around the sun, this means that we add an extra day to the year once every 4 years, hence the leap year.

This can make conversions to days more difficult, since it is important to know if the particular year in question is a leap year. For this reason, the calculator above uses 365.2425 days per year for its conversions.

How to Convert Years

To convert years to another unit of time, you need to multiply the value by a conversion factor. A conversion factor is a numerical value used to change the units of a measurement without changing the value.[1]

You can find the conversion factors for years in the conversion table below.

Then, multiply the time measurement by the conversion factor to find the equivalent value in the desired unit of measurement.

years × conversion factor = result

You can also use a calculator, such as one of the converters below, for the conversion.
