What is a year?


A year is 365 days. It is the time the Earth takes to travel around the sun.

During a year there are four seasons, which each have different weather. The seasons are winter, spring, summer and autumn (which is sometimes called "fall").

Every year you get a year older and you have a birthday. A centenary is the hundredth birthday or anniversary of something.
