About years and days
This converter uses the average year of 365.25 days, so one leap day every four years is spread across the others. Multiply years by 365.25 to get days. 4 years is exactly 1,461 days, the length of one leap-year cycle, and 10 years is 3,652.5 days.
For one calendar year the answer is 365, or 366 in a leap year. The 365.25-day average is the Julian year, which is also the year astronomers use to define the light-year. For long spans it gives a good estimate, though the Gregorian calendar skips three leap days every 400 years, so its true average is 365.2425 days.
Examples
- 1 yr (one year averaged over leap years) is 365.25 d
- 4 yr (a full leap-year cycle) is 1,461 d
- 10 yr (a decade) is 3,652.5 d
- 80 yr (a long lifetime, an illustrative value) is 29,220 d
