What is a tropical year?

A tropical year is the average interval between successive passages of the Sun through the same seasonal position, approximately 365.242189 days.

Why convert tropical years to microseconds?

Converting to microseconds allows expressing long natural time periods in very short, precise intervals useful in physics, engineering, and telecommunications.

Are the conversions exact?

No, the tropical year varies slightly, so this conversion provides an approximate value suitable for most scientific and engineering needs.
