If the earth were to orbit the sun in 365.20 days how often would a leap year be necessary?
The Earth goes around the sun in about 365.25 days. It's a funny number, but we're stuck with it because that's how fast the Earth spins and how fast it orbits the sun. We deal with that fact by counting a year as being 365 days and 366 days every fourth year.
The Earth goes around the sun in about 365.25 days or 365 days and 6 hours. These six hours get added every four years to give 24 hours or 1 day.
That is why we count a year as being 365 days and 366 days every fourth year.

Never. Mars and earth both orbit the sun. Since Mars has a more distant orbit, a year on Mars is almost the equivalent of two years on earth.
What is the definition of low earth orbit?

What is an orbit in which a satellite travels at the same speed as the Earth's rotation?
A geostationary orbit is when a satellite orbits at the same speed as the Earth's rotation, allowing it to remain fixed above a specific point on the Earth's equator. This type of orbit is often used for communication satellites because they can maintain a constant connection with a specific location on Earth.
