A century is 100 years, used to describe historical periods and long-term milestones. A year is approximately 365.24 days, the time Earth takes to orbit the Sun once. 1 cent equals 100 yr, so converting between them is a matter of multiplying by that fixed factor — type any value into the converter below and both sides update instantly as you type.
Both units belong to time, measured here against time's base unit (s) — every other time unit on this site converts through that same reference point, which is why the table below can also be read as a quick cross-check against nearby values.
Formula
yr = cent × 100
cent = yr × 0.01
