A normal (common) calendar year has 365 days. A leap year has 366 days (an extra February 29).

In the Gregorian calendar (the one most countries use): most years divisible by 4 are leap years, except century years not divisible by 400 (so 2000 was a leap year, 1900 was not). That gives an average year length of 365.2425 days.

Astronomically: the tropical year (cycle of seasons) is about 365.2422 days and the sidereal year is about 365.2564 days.
