	Year - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A seasonal year is the time between successive recurrences of a seasonal event such as the flooding of a river, the migration of a species of bird, the flowering of a species of plant, the first frost, or the first scheduled game of a certain sport.
		A tropical year is the time for the Earth to complete one revolution with respect to the framework provided by the intersection of the ecliptic (the plane of the orbit of the Earth) and the plane of the equator (the plane perpendicular to the rotation axis of the Earth).
		It differs from the sidereal year for stars north or south of the ecliptic because of the significant angle (23.5°) between Earth's celestial equator and the ecliptic.

		The sidereal year is 365 days, 6 hr, 9 min, 9.5 sec of mean solar time (see solar time).
		It is 20 min longer than the tropical year because of the precession of the equinoxes; for this reason, the sidereal year does not stay in step with the seasons.

	Tropical year - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		A tropical year is the length of time that the Sun, as viewed from the Earth, takes to return to the same position along the ecliptic (its path among the stars on the celestial sphere).
		Because the vernal equinox moves back along the ecliptic due to precession, a tropical year is shorter than a sidereal year (in 2000, the difference was 20.409 minutes; it was 20.400 min in 1900).
		As the equinox completes a full circle with respect to the perihelion (in about 21,000 years), the length of the tropical year as defined with reference to a specific point on the ecliptic oscillates around the mean tropical year.

		If it is taken to be a sidereal year then it will give us an idea of the constellation near which the full moon may occur.
		This is normally done by having a calendar year that corresponds to a solar year and a month which corresponds to a lunation so that the day of month indicates the moon phase.
		If the lunisolar calendar is defined to have a year that corresponds to the tropical year then the month of the year (which corresponds to a lunation) will roughly indicate the season, and the day of month will roughly indicate the moon phase.

	Months, Seasons and Years
		Years are defined as the length of time in days that is required by our tilted Earth to make one complete revolution around the sun.
		The different amount of time required by the sidereal year results from the Earth's wobbling like a top as it spins on its axis while orbiting the sun.
		This was said to have been the case in the so-called Golden Age as described by ancient writers.

		But they soon realized that a year of twelve lunar months - actually 354.37 days - began to slip as far as getting the same day of the month occurring at the same time of the year - the synodic year was not exactly the same length as the the year based on the sun.

	The Sirius Research Group
		At issue is the physical time interval of a so-called sidereal year, said to be the truest measure of earth's complete period of revolution around the sun relative to inertial space.
		Note: Since the 'mean solar day' and the 'mean sidereal day' are rigorously related by mathematical formula, the precise time interval of the sidereal year (or tropical year) had been determined in practice by using meridian transit instruments to measure the rotation of the Earth with respect to certain fixed stars.
		The IAU's argument that the sidereal year depends upon an adopted value of precession, whereas the length of the tropical year is derived from Newcomb's tables of the Sun, has a major scientific flaw.

	Binary Research Institute
		A Tropical Year is defined as the annual interval from equinox to equinox, while a Sidereal Year is the time required for the Earth to re-align with the fixed stars.
		The combination of these two principal forces is supposed to cause the pole to shift clockwise by the observable 50.29 arc seconds per year, meaning the equinox would arrive 50.29 arc seconds short of that point in the Earth’s orbit path that the equinox occurred at in the prior year.
		Interestingly, if one plugs in only sidereal data they also show the Earth moves 360 degrees relative to the fixed stars in a sidereal year, yet this orbit path of the Earth around the Sun takes 20 minutes longer and is 22,000 miles wider in circumference.

		In 3 years there are 1,092 days, and in 5 years 1,820 days, so that in 8 years there are 2,912 days." It seems clear that the person who wrote the above passage also believed that the 364 days was not just a 52-week calendar year, but was the actual length of a sidereal year.
		That is, they counted the year as 365 days from then on and did not factor in leap year.
