🌍 A year is how long it takes for the Earth to go all the way around the Sun! 🚀 It takes 365 days to finish this big trip. That's why we have 365 days in a year! 🎉
Every four years, we add one extra day (February 29th) to catch up. That's called a leap year! 🐸
🌎 A year is the time it takes for Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun. This journey takes about 365 days and 6 hours. Since we can’t have a fraction of a day in our calendar, we round it to 365 days.
Every 4 years, those extra 6 hours add up to a full day (24 hours), so we add February 29th—that’s a leap year! 📅✨
The Earth’s orbit isn’t a perfect circle—it’s slightly oval-shaped (called an ellipse). But don’t worry, it doesn’t affect the number of days!
🌍 A solar year (or tropical year) is the time Earth takes to orbit the Sun once—about 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 45 seconds. Our Gregorian calendar simplifies this to 365 days, with leap years adjusting for the extra time.
