History/Origin
The concept of the sidereal day has been used in astronomy for centuries to measure Earth's rotation relative to fixed stars, differing slightly from the solar day used in everyday timekeeping.
Current Use
Sidereal days are primarily used in astronomy and celestial navigation to track the positions of stars and other celestial objects accurately.
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 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.
