1 mo → 0.083333333333333 yr

47.9 mo → T_(yr)

Solve the above proportion to obtain the time T in years:

T_(yr) = 47.9 mo × 0.083333333333333 yr

T_(yr) = 3.9916666666667 yr

The final result is:

47.9 mo → 3.9916666666667 yr

We conclude that 47.9 months is equivalent to 3.9916666666667 years:

Conversion units

The units involved in this conversion are months and years. This is how they are defined:

Month

A month (symbol: mo) is a unit of time, used with calendars, which is approximately as long as a natural period related to the motion of the Moon; month and Moon are cognates. The traditional concept arose with the cycle of moon phases; such months (lunations) are synodic months and last approximately 29.53 days. From excavated tally sticks, researchers have deduced that people counted days in relation to the Moon's phases as early as the Paleolithic age. Synodic months, based on the Moon's orbital period with respect to the Earth-Sun line, are still the basis of many calendars today, and are used to divide the year.

Year

A year (symbol: y; also abbreviated yr.) is the orbital period of the Earth moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by changes in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the globe, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian, or modern, calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days.
