Question

When do we send the 1/4 day of the year where in we have 365 and 1/4 days in a year?

Answer 1

1st  year=365+1/4

leap year=365+(1/4+1/4+1/4+1/4)=366

Answer 2

In the Gregorian calendar, the current standard calendar in most of the world, most years whose division by 4 equals an integer are leap years. In each leap year, the month of February has 29 days instead of 28. Adding an extra day to the calendar every four years compensates for the fact that a solar year is almost 6 hours longer than 365 days.

However, some exceptions to this rule are required since the duration of a solar year is slightly less than 365.25 days. Years that are evenly divisible by 100 are not leap years, unless they are also evenly divisible by 400, in which case they are leap years.[1][2] For example, 1600 and 2000 were leap years, but 1700, 1800 and 1900 were not in the 1582 papal bull (the 1750 British Calendar Act ignores 1700). Similarly, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2500, 2600, 2700, 2900, and 3000 will not be leap years, but 2400 and 2800 will be. By this rule, the average number of days per year will be 365 + 1/4 − 1/100 + 1/400 = 365.2425, which is 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes, and 12 seconds.

Answer 3

IT   IS  AT   THE   41  DAY   OF  THE   YEAR

Answer 4

Every 4 years we add a day... its called leap year.

Answer 5

to the fourth year...the leap year...the year we have 29th of Feb, the extra day.

Answer 6

We wait 4 years, then add a day, making it a leap year.

Answer 7

"Somu" and "Aniket pakil's" answers are correct.  The year 2100 will not have a leap day, even though it is divisible by four.  (Years ending in double zero only have a leap day if they are a multiple of 400).  

If you wish to understand the "why" we add the extra day, it's slightly complicated, but I'll try to explain.

The earth rotates on it's axis.  It completes one full spin in relation to the sun, every 24 hours.  (this is where the "day" comes from).  But the earth is also revolving around the sun during those 24 hours, approximately 1/365th of the way around it.  So in relation to the stars, the earth makes one rotation in only 23 hours, 56 minutes and a handful of seconds.  

Over time, these "missing minutes" accumulate.  It becomes necessary for calender purposes to add that extra day...  for if we didn't, after a long enough time, you would see your summer constellations and summer weather during what is currently called the winter months.  

The simple answer is it's there because it just makes long-term timekeeping more accurate.

Answer 8

The earth takes more then 365 and 1/4 days to go around the Sun. We round it off to 365 then add a leap year every four years.. None of this is actually correct. as in space and earths orbit is not exactly round and you will not end up in the same place in space in 365 and 1/4 days as most people think a year means. But it so close it is good enough for every day use. Nor does it really matter to Earth where it is as it orbits. We invent calenders as humans and this type works well. There have been others and some actually better. So who ever asks you this question, is never going to give you the real answer. The Earth makes one revolution around the Sun every 365.26 days. And that will not round out for a leap year. So a true year would need a new type of calender.

Answer 9

We add one day in leap years.

Use the following algorithm to check if the year is a leap year.

1. Is the year divisible by 1000? If yes, then it is leap year. If no, then go to step 2.

2. Is the year divisible by 400? If yes, then it is not a leap year. If no, then go to step 3.

3. Is the year divisible by 4? If yes, then it is leap year. If no, then it is not a leap year.

Answer 10

all the 1/4 days of 4 years are put together so it would make 1 day. It happens every 4 years. The leap year.

Answer 11

We don't send it anywhere, but adjust it every 4 yrs.

Answer 12

They add them up so every 4 years we get an extra day then we get a leap year.
