About Gregorian Years
The Gregorian year = exactly 365.2425 days = 31,556,952 s (mean over the 400-year cycle with 97 leap years). The Julian calendar (45 BCE) used 365.25 days; Gregorian reform (1582) dropped 10 days and amended the centennial rule. Britain adopted it in 1752; Greece in 1923. Carbon-14 dates are reported in 'years BP' (before 1950 CE). 1 yr = 365.2425 d = 8,765.82 h = 31,556,952 s.
About Draconic Months
The draconic (nodical) month = 27.2122 days = 2,351,135.8 s - the interval between successive Moon passages through the same orbital node. Named from the Latin 'draco' (dragon): eclipses only occur near the nodes, where the Moon can align with the Sun or Earth's shadow. The Saros cycle (18 yr 11 d) equals ~242 draconic months, enabling eclipse sequence forecasting. 1 drac.mo = 27.2122 d.
