Earth celebrates several new years— according to the communities and cultures. Chinese have their own new year, westerns have their own, and so have the south asian like Nepal. I’m from Nepal, and there January 1 is not the equivalent date when we celebrate our New Year. And, that might be the case for other places too(Not sure about that tho).
So, which new year is the exact day when the Earth completed one revolution around the Sun?

Persian new year (Nowruz), celebrated in Iran and some other countries is worthy to have in mind, as it is more taking into account natural and solar cycles. It is on 20 March (around equinox, when the day length supersedes the night), and signalizes the beginning of the Spring. Yalda, another celebration of theirs, is exactly on the winter solstice, the longest night in the year.
