How to convert years to days

The day is exactly 24 hours (86 400 seconds). The year is a conventional average of 365.25 days (the Julian year); a common calendar year is 365 days, a leap year 366.

Worked example — 10 yr: 10 × 365.25 = 3,652.5 d.

About years and days

Year (yr)

1 yr = 365.25 d

Definition. A conventional average of 365.25 days (the Julian year); a common calendar year is 365 days, a leap year 366

History and origin

The year is the time the Earth takes to orbit the Sun, about 365.24 days. The calendar keeps step with 365-day common years and 366-day leap years, which average to 365.25 days over a four-year cycle.

Current use

Years measure age, long durations, interest and anything counted across seasons.

Source: IAU/ISO 80000-3 Julian year: 1 a = 365.25 d exactly, a convention for expressing durations. The average month here is that year divided by 12. Neither is an SI unit.

Day (d)

1 d = 0.00273785 yr

Definition. Exactly 24 hours (86 400 seconds)

History and origin

The day is based on one rotation of the Earth and is fixed for timekeeping at exactly 24 hours, or 86 400 seconds. The natural day varies slightly, so a mean value is used.

Current use

Days are the basic unit of the calendar and of everyday durations.

Where people use this

Years: age, long durations, interest. Days: calendars, durations. A year is about 365.25 days on average.

How we know this is right
The factor is fixed by the standards that define the units, not chosen — so it is exact, not a measurement:
1 d = 0.002737850787 yr, so 1 yr = 1 ÷ 0.002737850787 = 365.25 d.

Every value is carried to full double precision; the display is rounded.
