Oregon is a great choice due to favorable weather, good transportation infrastructure in the Willamette Valley, and superior scenery. The first total solar eclipse touching the continental United States since 1979 touches down on the Oregon coast between Lincoln City and Newport at 10:15 a.m. PDT. Before Oregon, the shadow of the Moon (umbra) does not touch any other landmass or island before Oregon.
The definition of Calendar Year in the law of the United States, as defined by the lexicographer Arthur Leff in his legal dictionary is: January first through December thirty-first; usually used in contradistinction to some other way of measuring a year, e.g., academic year, fiscal year.
A solar year is the time that it takes the earth to complete one  cycle around the sun. The year is the time taken by earth to  complete a cycle around the sun which takes aâ¦bout 365.25 days.   So, a calendar year is 365 days and 1 quarter. Every Leap Year  (once in 4 years) there is an extra day in February.    A year technically is the time taken for a planet to make one orbit  of the sun. At that rate, an Earth year is shorter than a Mars  year, which is 687 days at a 24 hour day.
