Convert Days to Years
1 day is 0.002738 yr. One day is exactly 0.00273790700699 years.
One day is 0.002737907 years. To convert days to years, multiply by 0.002737907; to go the other way, divide by 0.002737907 or multiply by 365.2425. This one is an average rather than an exact factor: a calendar year is 365 days or 366, so this figure is an average across the 400-year leap cycle. The definition comes from BIPM SI Brochure. Exactly 86,400 seconds by convention.
