This is referencing the spin of other planets and their orbits. One earth day is 24 hours because that’s how long it takes the earth to complete one rotation and one earth year is how long it takes the earth to orbit the sun once. Other planets spin at different speeds so their days are different lengths which we can convert to a number of earth days. Same with years. other planets years will have a different number of days than earth because of different orbits

It’s all the same amount of time it’s just different reference points
