A Julian year is exactly 365.25 days. It is the length of a year in the Julian calendar.
Astronomers still use the Julian year as a fundamental unit for ephemeris work, since it provides a quick and simple conversion to Julian dates.
Note a Julian year is not the same as a Gregorian calendar year, a tropical year or a sidereal year.
