eli5. New Year and Earth revolution

422 views

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?

There’s no designated starting place for one orbit so there’s no official date, either. Every day marks the end of one orbit, the one that started a year ago.
