Thus the "Year" listed below only represents the equivalent time period on Earth. The books take on the underlying assumption that time maintains the same for the Loric or the Mogadorians as it does for Earth (as in, the Loric/Magadorians gain age at the same rate as humans, as under told by the narrations in the novels).
