Some other time facts 1 year 365 days
1 leap year 366 days Do you know why we have leap years? It takes the earth 365 days and 6 hours to travel around the sun.
Because 4 x 6 hours equals 24 hours (one day), every 4 years we add an extra day to balance the calendar. Before a leap-year calendar was used, the seasons drifted around the calendar (the drift is about 1/4 day or 6 hours each year). For example, over three hundred years, July would go from winter to Autumn. Our current calendar is called the Gregorian calendar; this calendar was devised by Aloysius Lilius (an Italian physician) and named for Pope Gregory who decreed in 1582 that it be used in Catholic areas. This calendar wasn't adopted in Britain and the American Colonies until 1752.

If 4 divides evenly into the year, it is a leap year. However, the exception to the rule is that centuries must be evenly divided by 400. Therefore the year 2000 was a leap year, as it was divisible by 400, whereas 1900 was not. Do you know how to determine a leap year? Image: Connection maths 7
