A year is the length of time required for the Earth to make one revolution/orbit of the sun -- three hundred sixty-five and one quarter days. A day is the length of time required for the Earth to make one rotation on its axis -- twenty-four hours...

A day and year are relative to earth. A Saturn day or year would be different if revolution and rotation of Saturn was used as the basis for the unit of time.

A year is the time it takes the earth to go around the sun.
A day is the time it takes the earth to rotate once around (sunrise to sunset to sunrise again).
