THE RULES ABOUT
LEAP YEARS
It’s widely accepted that
a year is 365 days long.
However, that statement is
not entirely accurate. In fact, it
takes Earth a little more than
365 days (365.24223 days to
be precise) to orbit the sun. A
calendar cannot accommodate
that small distinction every
year. In order to ensure that
seasons do not start drifting from the difference
between the Earth’s rotation and the time it takes
to get around the sun, leap years were established
to keep the calendar more consistent and working
like clockwork. The first modern leap year took
place in 1752.
Certain guidelines were established to determine
which years would be leap years. A leap year typically
arrives every four years. However, in terms
of end-of-century years, they must be divisible by
400. That is why the year 2000 was a leap year
but 1900 was not, according to Royal Museums
Greenwich.
This approach is not an entirely foolproof plan
since there still may be very small discrepancies in
time. Leap seconds have been added to keep time
ticking correctly at various points throughout the
years. This occurred on December 31 in the years
2005, 2008 and 2012, and also on June 30, 2015.
