Why was the Julian calendar replaced by the gregorian calendar?

Why do we need leap years?
The Earth's rotation is very gradually slowing down. So, we occasionally add leap seconds to clocks to keep the daily cycle (as measured by accurate "atomic clocks") as close to the "mean solar day" as possible. Without leap seconds, "Coordinated Universal Time", based on atomic clocks, would slowly drift farther and farther away from any standard based on the Sun's position in the sky due to Earth's rotation. The "second" used by atomic clocks was fixed in relation to the Earth's rotation period about a hundred years ago. That's why the two time measurements are now "out of synch". Of course, the gap will continue to grow.
