Understanding Leap Years and Their Significance
Leap years, like 2024, involve adding an extra day at the end of February every four years to make up for Earth's actual orbit time around the sun, which is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 56 seconds. Without a leap year, seasons would shift over time. The Earth's rotation speed and the significance of leap years in adjusting the calendar are emphasized.
