Talk:Year

No italics in units

Section Year#Symbols gives:

a = 31556925.445 seconds

But units normally should receive no italics:

a = 31556925.445 seconds

For example, MOS:UNITSYMBOLS says:

Write unit names and symbols in upright (roman) type, except where emphasizing in context.

Here MOS:EMPHASIS would seem to allow italics but MOS:WORDSASWORDS actually discourages it in this case:

When italics could cause confusion (such as when italics are already being heavily used in the page for some other purpose, e.g., many non-English words and phrases), double quotation marks instead may be used to distinguish words as words.

So I propose rewriting Year#Symbols to avoid italics in general for "a" and using double quotes when necessary. fgnievinski (talk) 06:31, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

1 Year is not 365 days.

If you add up the days in a non leap year there's only 364 days in a year and 365 in a leap year. Just add up the days on your calendar yourself! 174.250.210.197 (talk) 01:16, 14 March 2022 (UTC)

Perfect

The short article under "Abbreviations for "years ago" is perfect - thank You!!" - however, regrettably too less known by those linguistically incompetent geologists.2A02:8108:9640:AC3:4DF8:A0AF:4F2D:BE71 (talk) 06:28, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

1 year is 7305 days.

There is a summer, spring, autumn and winter seasons for a 365¼ days year. The orbit of planet Earth is ellipse so planet Earth is close to star Sun twice and faraway from star Sun twice. So there are two summers seasons and two winters seasons. So the revolution of planet Earth around star Sun is 365¼×2 is 730.5 days. So new year day first year is day , new year day second year is night, new year day third year is day and new year day fourth year is night. Virapaligautam (talk) 11:20, 9 June 2022 (UTC)
