Year (Julian)
A year (Julian) is the period of time approximately 365.25 days, based on the Julian calendar, used to measure the length of a complete cycle of seasons and calendar years.
History/Origin
The Julian year was introduced by Julius Caesar in 45 BC as part of the Julian calendar reform, replacing the Roman calendar. It standardized the year length to 365 days with a leap year every four years to account for the extra quarter day.
Current Use
The Julian year is primarily used in astronomical calculations and historical contexts. It is also the basis for the Julian date system used in astronomy and other sciences to record continuous days.
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.
