The practice adopted in this dictionary is, in four-figure dates, to specify the last two digits of the second date if it falls within the same century as the first: 1801–08; 1850–51; 1899–1901. In writing three-figure bc dates, it is advisable to give both dates in full: 159–156 bc, not 159–56 bc unless of course the span referred to consists of 103 years rather than three years. It is also advisable to specify bc or ad in years under 1000 unless the context makes this self-evidentyear (yɪər)

..... Click the link for more information. year is used for practical purposes and always contains a whole number of days, the ordinary year being 365 days and the leap year 366 days.Year an interval of time approximating the duration of one revolution of the earth around the sun. Since ancient times the determination of the length of a year by observing recurring astronomic phenomena has been an important scientific problem having great practical significance. Ancient China and ancient Egypt both had quite accurate measurements of the year. The Greek scholar Hip-parchus in the second century B.C. calculated the length of a year as exactly 365.25 days minus 1/300 of a day, which varies from contemporary measurements by only 6½ minutes. The complexity of the movement of the earth around the sun accounts for the various values of the year that are used in different fields of science and everyday life. The stellar (sidereal) year is the interval of time in which the sun completes its apparent annual path in the heavens with respect to the stars. The tropical year is the interval of time between two successive transits of the sun through the point of the vernal equinox. It corresponds to the period in which the earth experiences the change of seasons—spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The anomalistic year, the interval between two successive transits of the sun through the perihelion, is used in celestial mechanics. The Draconic year is the interval in which the sun returns to the same (ascending or descending) nodal point on the lunar orbit. It is used for predicting solar and lunar eclipses. The Julian year is the basis for the Julian calendar (old style); now it is sometimes used in astronomy for computing large intervals of time (the Julian century is 36,525 days). The Gregorian year serves as the basic unit in the Gregorian calendar (new style). The lunar year equal to 12 (or 13) synodical months, is used in lunar calendars.

2. The civil year differs from the astronomical, the latter being composed of 365 days, 5 hours, 48 seconds and a fraction, while the former consists, sometimes of three hundred and sixty-five days, and at others, in leap years, of three hundred and sixty-six days.
3. The year is divided into half-year which consists, according to Co. Litt. 135 b, of 182 days; and quarter of a year, which consists of 91 days, Ibid. and 2 Roll. Ab. 521, 1. 40. It is further divided into twelve months.
4. The civil year commences immediately after twelve o'clock at night of the thirty-first day of December, that is the first moment of the first day of January, and ends at midnight of the thirty-first day of December, twelve mouths thereafter.

5. In New York it is enacted that whenever the term "year" or "years" is or shall be used in any statute, deed, verbal or written contract, or any public or private instrument whatever, the year intended shall be taken to consist of three hundred and sixty-five days; half a year of a hundred and eighty-two days; and a quarter of a year of ninety-two days; and the day of a leap year, and the day immediately preceding, if they shall occur in any period so to be computed, shall be reckoned together as one day.
