KIMT News 3 Meteorologist Sean Macaday shows us why the extra day is so important
The extra day we get every four years.
Kimt storm team 3 meteorologist sean macaday shows us why leap years are so important.
Xxx so tomorrow is leap year.
But why do we have it?
Well the story starts in outer space.
It takes the earth 1 year to orbit around the sun.
1 year is actually 365.25 days.
That extra quarter adds up.
If we didn't have a leap year, the calendar would be off by 24 days in 100 years.
We fix this by adding an extra day to the end of february every 4 years.
If we didn't do this, the seasons would be completely flipped by the year 2760.
Be sure to enjoy the extra day, it is looking like it will be a nice one.
