Deep dives

The History and Importance of Leap Year

Leap Year was created to align the calendar with Earth's orbit around the sun, ensuring seasonal accuracy. The Julian calendar introduced the concept, accounting for the extra time Earth takes to orbit. The Gregorian calendar refined this by introducing leap years to prevent calendar drift and seasonal misalignment. Without leap years, the calendar would eventually fall out of sync with the correct seasons.
