An earth year is 365.25 days but some sites say 366.25
The 365.25 is correct. That's why we have the leap year. 4*.25 = extra day.
No, it's not correct, at least as an answer to the OP's question. The question isn't how many DAYS are in a year, but how many times the Earth rotates in a year. These quantities are different.
