Why use 365.25 instead of 365?

Leap years. Earth takes ~365.25 days to orbit the sun. Every 4 years, we add Feb 29 to balance the calendar.

How many days old am I if I'm 20 years old?

20 × 365.25 ≈ 7,305 days (plus additional days for your actual birthday). Rough estimate used in many contexts.

A contract spans 2,922 days and you need to know how many years that represents for employment or investment records. What's the conversion?

2,922 days ÷ 365.25 ≈ 8 years. This conversion is essential for financial reporting, insurance calculations, and interpreting long-term agreements in annual terms.
