Decades

The decade is a unit of time equal to exactly ten years, derived from the Greek deka (ten). While not a formal SI unit, it is widely used in demography, economics, history, and popular culture. In science, decade-scale processes are important in climatology (decadal temperature averages), epidemiology (ten-year cohort studies), and astrophysics (stellar variability cycles).

Years

The year is based on Earth's orbital period around the Sun. The Julian year used in astronomy is exactly 365.25 days (31,557,600 seconds). The Gregorian calendar approximates the tropical year as 365.2425 days through its leap year rule, achieving accuracy to within 26 seconds per year. In geology, time spans are expressed in millions of years (Ma) or billions of years (Ga).
