What is a Year?
The Gregorian year averages 365.25 days (31,557,600 seconds), accounting for the one leap day added every four years (with century corrections). The solar year — one orbit of the Earth around the Sun — takes about 365.2422 days, and the leap-year system keeps the calendar aligned with this astronomical period. Ages, interest rates, and long-range plans are expressed in years. The year 2000 was a leap year; 1900 was not.
What is a Second?
The second is the SI base unit of time, defined since 1967 as exactly 9,192,631,770 oscillations of the cesium-133 atom. It is the foundation of all other time units. Atomic clocks based on this definition are accurate to within one second every 300 million years. Human reaction time and the duration of a typical heartbeat are both roughly in the range of 0.2–1.0 seconds.
