n.
(Latin) year
Annum
Annum is a
Latin noun meaning
year. It is the
accusative singular of the second
declension masculine noun annus (nominative), anni (genitive)
[1].As a unit of time, it is defined as exactly 365.25 days (that is, the average length of a year in the
Julian calendar) of 86,400 SI seconds each, representing the duration of one revolution of the Earth around the Sun. Although there is no universally accepted symbol for the year, NIST and ISO 31-1 suggest the symbol a (in the
International System of Units a is also the symbol for the
are unit of area, but context is usually enough to disambiguate). In English, the deprecated abbreviation yr is still frequently used.
