About both units

From

Year

The Julian year equals 365.25 days — the time for Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun. The Gregorian civil year averages 365.2425 days thanks to the leap-year rule. Most unit conversion uses the Julian value.

Real-world: Human average lifespan: 73 years (global). EU adult age: 18 years. Typical mortgage: 25–30 years.

Millisecond

The millisecond equals 0.001 second. Essential in computing, networking and high-speed photography. Human reaction time is about 200–300 ms. Video frame rates of 60 fps correspond to a 16.67 ms per frame.

Real-world: Ping to a local server: 5–20 ms. Game frame at 60 fps: 16.67 ms. Human reaction: 200–300 ms.

Julian year = 365.25 days = 31,557,600 seconds.
Gregorian civil year averages 365.2425 days (97 leap days in 400 years).
Astronomical "year" can be tropical (365.2422 d), Julian (365.25 d) or sidereal (365.2564 d).

Avoid these

Using 360 days/year (financial convention) in scientific calculations.
Confusing Julian and tropical years in precise astronomy.
Mixing fiscal year (varies by country) with calendar year.
