The mean tropical year is defined as the period of time for the mean ecliptic longitude of the Sun to increase by 360 degrees. Since the Sun's ecliptic longitude is measured with respect to the equinox, the tropical year comprises a complete cycle of the seasons; because of the biological and socio-economic importance of the seasons, the tropical year is the basis of most calendars.
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry and the International Union of Geological Sciences have jointly recommended using defining the annus, with symbol a, as the length of the tropical year in the year 2000:
a = 31556925.445 seconds (approximately 365.24219265 ephemeris days)
We default to using the Gregorian year on this site, but you can select a specific type of year by entering the full name like "tropical year".
A sidereal year (from Latin sidus "asterism, star") is the time taken by the Earth to orbit the Sun once with respect to the fixed stars. Hence it is also the time taken for the Sun to return to the same position with respect to the fixed stars after apparently travelling once around the ecliptic. It equals 365.25636 SI days for the J2000.0 epoch.
