It depends on what you mean by “year”. A tropical year is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 45 seconds, but a sidereal year is 365 days 6 hours, 9 minutes, and 9.5 seconds. That’s based on the solar day (24 hours). If you use sidereal days (23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.09 seconds), then it’s different, but it’s too early in the morning to do math, even for me.
Imagine 3 months ago
Easy to remember.

The exact length of a year can vary for many reasons, including how you define a year.
I could link you to a site, but I can’t link to sites on Gocomics anymore. Maybe try googling “variation in the length of a year”.
