The Gregorian calendar is designed so that the seasons of the calendar will agree with the actual seasons that result from the Earth's orbit around the sun. It takes the planet Earth about 365 and a quarter days to orbit the sun once. Since it is not convenient to use fractions of a day to define the length of a year, we use leap years instead.
