But what is a year? The rate at which the earth orbits the sun is not constant, and indeed once upon a time it is likely that the earth didn't orbit the sun at all (indeed there was no 'Earth' as we know it at one stage...supposedly). It's hard to judge passage of time without the recognizable 'landmarks' to navigate with.
