Leap Day 2020

Leap-Day-2020

There is a leap day every 4 years. 

Earth completes one revolution around the sun in around 365 days and 6 hours. Over a period of 4 years, the extra 6 hours from every year get added up to become an entire day (6*4=24 hours). Hence, we have a leap day/leap year every 4 years.

Earth completes one revolution precisely

365 days,

5 hours,

48 minutes,

and 45 seconds

(365.242189 days).
