That's a bit more than our regular calendar year of 365 days. To fix this, we add an extra day to our calendar every four years.

The additional 0.25 days accumulate over four years, totaling around one extra day.

Know The Secrets of Leap Year

Earth's Orbit

The additional 0.25 days accumulate over four years, totaling around one extra day.

Extra Time

To account for this, a leap day is added to the calendar every four years.

Leap Day Addition

The actual time for Earth to complete its orbit (sidereal year) is about 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 56 seconds.

Sidereal Year

Without leap years, our calendar would gradually misalign with the seasons.

Seasonal Drift

While most leap years occur every four years, exceptions exist. Years divisible by 100 but not by 400 skip the leap year.
