Sure if their planet takes 365 days (which is to say, the same time it takes for Earth) to make a full revolution around their sun (or suns) and they'd like to count days according to that. If they'd like a lunar calendar such as the same one we use here then they'd better have a moon that takes aprox 27.5 days to make one revolution around their planet. If this were the case then they'd have the same calendar we do. If not then they would have a different frame of reference when messuring time.

And what of a floating rock in space, within no system, belonging to no solar system and has no moons? What time would it be there?
I'm 45% sure and 89% not sure, also 30% confused... <--- Did you know, 75% of all statistics lie? =D

Ya well you're going crazy.
They formulate their own method of counting time. Half-life of an isotope or something.
Just because they have no obvious frame of reference doesn't mean that time doesn't exist.
If a tree falls in a forest with nothing around to hear it, does it make noise?

Short answer, "yes" with an "if". Long answer, "no" with a "but".
I personaly think we should get with the times (no pun intended) and use our sun's galactic orbit for a year.
That would be a hell of a New Year's Eve party!

Party at my place in 225 million years.
The Earth is about 22 galactic years old.
The dinosaurs were around 3 and a half months ago.
