What is a Julian year?

A Julian year is a standardized time unit equal to exactly 365.25 days, used in astronomy for reporting durations and rates.

Why convert a year (Julian) to nanoseconds?

To express long astronomical times in extremely small time units needed for precise electronic and optical measurements.

Is nanosecond precision necessary for all time conversions?

No, nanosecond accuracy is critical in high-speed electronics but often unnecessary for typical astronomical durations.
