+        period.month : Get the month of the year for the given Period.
+        period.day : Return the day of the month the Period falls on.

+        Notes
+        -----
+        The year is based on the `ordinal` and `base` attributes of the Period.

         Examples
         --------
-        >>> period = pd.Period('2022-01', 'M')
+        Create a Period object for January 2023 and get the year:
+
+        >>> period = pd.Period('2023-01', 'M')
         >>> period.year
-        2022
+        2023
+
+        Create a Period object for 01 January 2023 and get the year:
+
+        >>> period = pd.Period('2023', 'D')
+        >>> period.year
+        2023
+
+        Get the year for a period representing a quarter:
+
+        >>> period = pd.Period('2023Q2', 'Q')
+        >>> period.year
+        2023
+
+        Handle a case where the Period object is empty, which results in `NaN`:
