1 de feb. de 2024 · Adding an extra day, aka a “leap day,” to the calendar every four years brings the calendar in line and, therefore, realigns it with the seasons. Without leap days, the calendar would be off by 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 45 seconds more each year. After 100 years, the seasons would be off by 25 days!
In our calendar (Gregorian) a leap year is a year which is both evenly divisible by 4 and not divisible by 100 or just is evenly divisible by 400. For example: 2000 year is a leap year because it is evenly divisible by 400.
