How many days are there in a year . why?
Leap Years are needed to keep our calendar in alignment with the Earth's revolutions around the sun. It takes the Earth approximately 365.242199 days - or 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds (a tropical year) - to circle once around the Sun. However, the Gregorian calendar has only 365 days in a year, so if we didn't add a day on February 29 nearly every 4 years, we would lose almost six hours off our calendar every year. After only 100 years, our calendar would be off by approximately 24 days!
When were days taken out of the calendar?
Days have not been taken out of the calendar. The modern Gregorian calendar has remained consistent in terms of the number of days per year since its implementation in 1582. In some cases, specific dates may be skipped or adjusted due to specific cultural or historical events, but the total number of days in a year has remained unchanged.
Why does February have 28 days while the other months have 30 or 31 in Hindi?
February is based off of the Roman calendar. The Roman calendar inserted the month Februarius to realign the year with the winter season.
Why was 46 BC called the year of confusion?
At that time, the Romans used a lunar calendar of about 354 days. As a result, intercalary months have to be inserted every so often to keep the calendar roughly on tract with the seasons (just like the Jewish calendar today). Since 52BC only 1 intercalary month had been inserted leading to the effect that by 46BC the calendar was off by 67 days. To correct the calendar to get it back to the vernal equinox occurring on (or about) 25 March, 2 intercalary months (of 33 days and 34 days) were inserted between November and December 46BC making the year 445 days long. Caesar then did the calendar reform which upped the days of the months to get the year to 365 days with a leap year every 4 years (starting 1 Jan 45BC) - the Julian calendar which was then later refined into the Gregorian calendar to correct for the leap years by making centuries leap years only if evenly divisible by 400.
How many days a year does congress take off?

Why is an extra day added to February every four years-?
Earth takes about 365 and one quarter days to circle the sun once (one year). If we only had 365 days on the calendar, eventually the calendar would be WAY off from the seasons. By adding the extra day every four years, it keeps the calendar in step with the earth's orbit, and thus with the seasons.
How can one go about creating an ovulation calendar?

What is the reason of leap year?
Leap years are necessary because the actual length of a year is 365.242 days, not 365 days, as commonly stated. Basically, leap years occur every 4 years, and years that are evenly divisible by 4 (2004, for example) have 366 days. This extra day is added to the calendar on February 29th.
Why does February have 28 days?
The short answer is that we inherited the calendar from the Romans who originally had calendars of ten months starting in March (spring), the winter days being simply "off calendar." When the winter months were created, there were twelve months: 7 with 29, 1 with 28, and 4 with 31 to make 355 days. As this threw the calendar off related to the observed seasons, a 13th "leap month" or "intercalary" would be added between February and March which had 27 days, and February was reduced to either 23 or 24. The reforms of 45 BC led to the Julian calendar with the same number of days in each month as currently observed. February inherited the intercalary day (February 29), every 4 years with some exceptions. Because there are 365.25 days in a year and every 4 years that is a leap year an extra day is added to February.
