Where 31,557,600 fits
Why 31,557,600 is special
A Julian year is defined as exactly 365.25 days, so this figure has no error bar at all — which is precisely why astronomy uses it. The light-year is defined from it: the distance light travels in 31,557,600 seconds. A calendar year is 31,536,000 seconds, and the difference is the leap day.

Science
There are 31,557,600 seconds in a Julian year (worldwide, astronomical use). Exactly 365.25 days by definition, which is what makes it useful: astronomers needed a year of fixed length that no calendar reform could move, and the light-year is defined against this one rather than against the calendar.
