How long is a decade and a century ?-2 Decade-10 years Century-20 years








How long is a decade and a century?

Ans A:-

This word decade  was taken from Romans, they  use the "dec"to show group of 10 items. Like a decathlon, a group of 10 athlete. Part of time that is derived from Latin words  including  the century that is  of 1 hundred  years and the millennium that is of 1 thoudsand years.

Basically, group of ten years is a decade. The word  “decade” is basically used to refer to periods based on the 10 digit of the calendar year. So the “1980s” refers to the decade between 1980–1989.

An event that reoccurs every decade is called decennial. An event that reoccurs every 100 years is a centennial event and every 1000 years is a millennial event. 

How long is a decade and a century?

Ans B:-

 a decade is a measure of 10 ‘years’.

a century is a measure of 100 ‘years’.

you also got a lustrum, a measure of 5 years.

and a ‘jubilee’ is 50 years.

and a score is 20 years.

the 2 ‘weirdos’ is

(1) a “generation”, which is the amount of time it takes to replace yourself in the great scheme of things, and by the time most folks is 25 years old. they’ve already managed to produce at least one unit that’ll survive to ‘take over the family business’ by the time THAT one jumps the ‘generation gap’ of ITS ’25 years’.

and (2) a “lifetime” which has been established as ‘3 scores and 10’.(3x20)+10, 60+10=70 years of ‘useful productivity’ ‘mean time before failure'. which, in more than 6000 years of development, is STILL valid when you use the same baseline. as are the NOTEWORTHY clusters and individuals that make it beyond the century mark.

How long is a decade and a century?

 Ans C:-

Hello.

It all depends on the calendar that we choose to use.

Some societies use the Gregorian (majority) and others that use the Julian calendar.


Others use the 13 moon calendar.


All these calendars will create a difference in when months end and begin.

In Russia for example, it is not Christmas until January 7th when the rest of the world has already marked Christmas. This is because of the Julian calendar that the faithful there use. Faithful means Catholics.


So is it always a fact that a decade has 10 years and a century 100 years, no.
