1. years

   A year is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year (the mean year) across the complete leap cycle of 400 years is 365.2425 days (97 out of 400 years are leap years). In English, the unit of time for year is commonly abbreviated as "y" or "yr". The symbol "a" is more common in scientific literature, though its exact duration may be inconsistent. In astronomy, the Julian year is a unit of time defined as 365.25 days of exactly 86,400 seconds (SI base unit), totalling exactly 31,557,600 seconds in the Julian astronomical year.The word year is also used for periods loosely associated with, but not identical to, the calendar or astronomical year, such as the seasonal year, the fiscal year, the academic year, etc. Similarly, year can mean the orbital period of any planet; for example, a Martian year and a Venusian year are examples of the time a planet takes to transit one complete orbit. The term can also be used in reference to any long period or cycle, such as the Great Year.

   Years are units of time that are commonly used in measuring and quantifying the passage of time. They are often based on the Earth's revolutions around the sun, with one year typically being equivalent to 365 days, or sometimes 366 days in leap years. Years are a fundamental element in calendars and are used to organize events, determine ages, mark historical periods, and track the progression and duration of various phenomena within the natural and human world.

Examples of Years in a Sentence

1. Lena Dunham:

   I'm embarrassed to say this but it took me far too long to start voting. I had been of legal age for more than four years before I cast my first vote in the 2008 presidential election, it's not that I didn't care, but I didn't believe that me caring mattered. It was impossible for me to comprehend that one young woman checking a box after waiting in a long line could matter on a national level.

2. Packers CEO Mark Murphy:

   This is an issue that we have been working on for several months. Brian Gutekunst, Matt LaFleur and I have flown out on a number of occasions to meet with Aaron. We are very much aware of Aaron's concerns and have been working with him( and his agent Dave Dunn) to resolve them. We remain committed to Aaron in 2021 and beyond. He is not only a tremendously talented player, but has developed into a true leader for us. The relationship that Aaron has forged with Matt LaFleur and the other offensive coaches has propelled us to the brink of Super Bowl in two straight years. We look forward to competing for another Super Bowl championship with Aaron as our leader.

3. Ruud Dobber:

We are exploring different options, but it is far too early at this stage to conclude that (process), hopefully before the year ends, we will have a better view how to move forward in the next few years.

4. Albert Einstein:

   A photograph never grows old. You and I change, people change all through the months and years, but a photograph always remains the same. How nice to look at a photograph of mother or father taken many years ago. You see them as you remember them. But as people live on, they change completely. That is why I think a photograph can be kind.

5. Masayoshi Son:

   I think a big paradigm shift is coming, the biggest theme in my view is the Singularity. I think it is coming into reality in the next 30 years. For that vision, I am exercising that strategy. $ 100 billion is an interesting size of ammunition. In my view, that is the beginning. My passion is bigger than many people think.
