Is a 'standard' day, year, or other time measurements the same as a earth day, year and more?

The standard measurements used in the galaxy are derived from the local measurements found on Coruscant. A standard day consists of 24 hours. There are five standard days in a standard week. There are seven standard weeks in a standard month. A standard year is 368 standard days long, which breaks down to ten standard months plus three "fete weeks" and three more holidays, all devoted to traditional celebrations, festivals and observances.
Unless higher canon stuff disagrees, this is the date system in the SW universe.

That's been widely known by those familiar with the RPG for about ten years.

What's really interesting about that is because they have a longer year, their light years are slightly longer than ours (~0.75% longer).
