Year
A year is the period of time it takes for the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun, approximately 365.25 days.
History/Origin
The concept of a year has been used since ancient times, with various civilizations developing calendars based on lunar and solar cycles. The Gregorian calendar, introduced in 1582, standardized the length of the year as 365 days with a leap year every four years to account for the extra quarter day.
Current Use
The year is widely used as a basic unit of time measurement for calendars, planning, and record-keeping worldwide, with the Gregorian calendar being the most common system in use today.
Fortnight
A fortnight is a period of two weeks, equivalent to 14 days.
History/Origin
The term 'fortnight' originates from the Old English 'fēowertīene niht', meaning 'fourteen nights'. It has been used in English since the 16th century to denote a two-week interval.
Current Use
The term 'fortnight' is still used in British English and some other English-speaking regions to specify a two-week period, especially in scheduling and planning contexts.
