Years (yr)

Here, an average Gregorian year: 365.2425 days (a common year has 365, a leap year 366).

Used for: Age, interest and long durations.

Seconds (s)

The SI base unit of time, defined by 9,192,631,770 oscillations of a caesium-133 atom.

Used for: Timing everything.

Seconds, minutes, hours, days and weeks are exact. Months and years are averages of the Gregorian calendar (a year of 365.2425 days, a month of 30.436875 days), because real months and years vary in length.
