did I already ask this? I can't recall...
In one text it reads that the Earth makes 365.26 rotations in one year. We
discussed that that the .25 of a rotation adds up every four years to make
one full day which adds a day to those calendar years named, "Leap Year."
The hanging question is what do we do with the .01 of a day? After
centuries upon centuries those hundredths add up to full days too. Hmmmmm.
Thanks for your thoughts (possibly again) Becca
