An "[[Earth]] Year" ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Who Am I? (short story)|Who Am I?]]'') typically lasted 365 [[day]]s, each 24 [[hour]]s long, across 12 [[month]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[World War Three (TV story)|World War Three]]'', ''[[Last of the Time Lords (TV story)|Last of the Time Lords]]'') More specifically, in an Earth-standard [[Gregorian calendar]], a year was 365.25 days long. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Instead of You (short story)|Instead of You]]'') Earth and [[Gallifrey]] shared the same [[distance]] from the same type of [[sun]] and with it the same [[length]] of day and year, a fact which fascinated the [[Time Lord]]s. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Infinity Doctors (novel)|The Infinity Doctors]]'') According to another account, the [[Fourth Doctor]] once said to a [[human]] audience that he "would be over [[750 (number)|750]] [[The Doctor's age|years old]] in your Earth years", suggesting the years of his homeworld had a different length.
