Understanding Years and Decades

What is a Year?

A year is the time it takes for Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun, approximately 365.25 days. This is why we have leap years every four years to account for the extra quarter day.

What is a Decade?

A decade represents a period of 10 years. The term comes from the ancient Greek word "dekas" meaning a group of ten. Decades are often used to describe cultural periods or generational spans.
