Conversion number between year (sidereal) [a, y, or yr] and year (Julian) [a, y, or yr] is 1.0000174209555. This means, that year (sidereal) is bigger unit than year (Julian).
Switch to reverse conversion:
from year (Julian) to year (sidereal) conversion
| [a, y, or yr] |
Result in year (Julian)
?If conversion between year (sidereal) to second and second to year (Julian) is exactly definied, high precision conversion from year (sidereal) to year (Julian) is enabled.
Since definition contain rounded number(s) too, there is no sense for high precision calculation, but if you want, you can enable it. Keep in mind, that converted number will be inaccurate due this rounding error!

Definition of year (sidereal) unit: ≈ 365.256363004 d. Sidereal year is a time taken for Sun to return to the same position with respect to the stars of the celestial sphere, approximately 365.256363 days.
Definition of year (Julian) unit: = 365.25 d average. The basic calendar year has 365 days, but in fact the Earth needs a little more time around the sun. The Julian calendar compensated this with leap year (every fourth year had 366 days). According to the formula, a Julian year has 365 + 1/4 = 365.25 days. But even with this compensation, the astronomical year slip 0.78 days every 100 years into real seasons. Therefore, most countries have moved to the Gregorian calendar introduced in 1582.
