Solar Year: Period of time for the ecliptic longitude of the Sun to increase 360°
The solar year (also called tropical year) is a calendar system based on the orbit of the Earth around the Sun.
The Gregorian Calendar is an example of a solar calendar. Each year is slightly more then 365 days in a solar calendar; which is why there are leap days every 4 years.
