Number of days in a year can be calculated by finding the 1st day of the next year and subtract that from the 1st day of the current year.

Find first day of next year

 SELECT add_months(TRUNC(sysdate,'y'),12)
  FROM dual;

ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE,'Y'),12)
-------------------------
01-JAN-09                

1 rows selected

Find first day of current year

SELECT TRUNC(sysdate,'y')
 FROM dual;

TRUNC(SYSDATE,'Y')        
-------------------------
01-JAN-08                

1 rows selected

Finding days for the current year is an easy task now, just subtract the two dates and your done.

 SELECT add_months(TRUNC(sysdate,'y'),12) - TRUNC(sysdate,'y')
  FROM dual;

ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE,'Y'),12)-TRUNC(SYSDATE,'Y')
----------------------------------------------------
366
