How many quarters, days, weeks, hours, minutes and seconds are there in one year?

An astronomical year, also known as solar year, is the real time in which planet Earth completes a full revolution around the Sun, which takes 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 45.51 seconds.

What happens to those spare 5 hours, 48 minutes and 45.51 seconds in our calendars? They are the reason behind the leap years as you can easily notice that they make up a day after 4 years. That is why it has been agreed that every fourth year will be one day longer. In other words, the additional day in a leap year helps us synchronize the actual astronomical year with our simplified calendars.
