Time of revolution that may come to royal ears (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

solar year

'time of revolution' is the definition.

'may come to royal ears' is the wordplay.
'may come to' indicates anagramming the letters.
'royal'+'ears'='royalears'
'royalears' with letters rearranged gives 'SOLAR YEAR'.

'that' acts as a link.

(Another definition for solar year that I've seen is " just over 52 weeks".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
