What is a week?

A week is a unit of time equal to 7 days.
It is a standard short cycle of days used in most calendars and cultures around the world.

In many places (especially the US), a week is considered to run from Sunday to Saturday.
In other regions (like much of Europe), it often runs from Monday to Sunday.
The length of a week is always exactly 7 days = 168 hours = 10,080 minutes.

What is a year?

A year is a unit of time based on the Earth's orbit around the Sun.
There are a few related but slightly different definitions:

Calendar year (most common everyday meaning) — In the Gregorian calendar (the one used worldwide today), a year is 365 days long in a normal ("common") year, or 366 days in a leap year (which occurs roughly every 4 years to keep the calendar aligned with the seasons).
It is divided into 12 months and runs from January 1 to December 31.
Astronomical/solar/tropical year — The time it takes Earth to complete one full orbit around the Sun relative to the seasons (from one vernal equinox to the next) ≈ 365.2422 days (that's why we need leap years every ~4 years to stay in sync).

How to convert weeks to years?

Use the following formula to calculate the number of years based on the weeks you have.
number of years ≈ number of weeks ÷ 52.142857

Or, if you want to calculate the number of weeks from years, use the alternative formula:
number of weeks ≈ number of years × 52.142857

Everyday approximations:

Examples:

52 weeks = almost exactly 1 year (actually 1 year minus 1 day in a common year)
104 weeks = almost exactly 2 years (actually 2 years minus 2 days in two common years)
520 weeks ≈ 10 years (520 ÷ 52.142857 ≈ 9.97 years)
To be exact: 10 years × 52.1775 ≈ 521.775 weeks (so roughly 521–522 weeks depending on leap years)
Every 100 weeks = 1.9165 years ≈ 1 year + 11 months (very close to 2 full years).
500 weeks = 9.5827 years ≈ 9 years and 7 months.
1000 weeks = 19.1653 ≈ 19 years and 2 months.
