About Olympiads
An Olympiad = exactly 4 Gregorian years = 1,461 days = 126,227,808 s. In ancient Greece it was the standard historical dating system counting from the first Olympic Games at Olympia in 776 BCE; adopted by Hellenistic historians (Polybius, Timaeus). Modern Olympiads are numbered from Athens 1896. The 4-year cycle is mirrored in US presidential elections and EU Parliamentary terms. 1 Ol = 4 yr = 126,227,808 s.
About Days
A day (d) = exactly 86,400 s. Earth's actual solar day varies ±16 s due to orbital eccentricity and axial tilt (equation of time). Leap seconds (abandoned in UTC after 2035) corrected the TAI-UT1 divergence. Mars's sol = 24 h 39 min 35 s ≈ 88,775 s; a Martian year = 668.6 sols. The day structures circadian biology, tides, and planetary science. 1 day = 86,400 s = 24 h.
