About Tropical Years
The tropical year = time from March equinox to the next = 365.24219 days = 31,556,925.2 s - the year that governs the seasons. The Gregorian 97/400 leap rule approximates it as 365.2425 days, leaving a residual drift of only ~26.8 s/year. The tropical year shortens ~0.53 s per century due to tidal deceleration. Persian Solar Hijri and Mayan Haab' calendars also approximate it. 1 a_trop ≈ 365.24219 d.
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.
