What is actual length of solar year and its relation with calculation of leap years?

The solar year, the time it takes for the Earth to complete one solar orbit, is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 45½ seconds. In order to make the average calendar year close to the length of an actual year, we add an extra day to the standard 365-day calendar 97 times every 400 years. That makes the average calendar year 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes and 12 seconds. That is 26½ seconds longer than an actual year, resulting in an extra day every 3260 years.

Is it possible that an affair can continue on for years and years?

Yes it can and it happens more often than people realize. There are some good reasons why. For instance, Kathryne Hepburn and Spencer Tracy were madly in love, but he was Catholic (divorce was against the law in the Catholic religion) and his wife wouldn't give him a divorce. Hepburn and Tracy had a deep love relationship until the day he died. Some people own business' and divorce could ruin them. However, it's not a good idea to waste your life on someone in this day and age, if they aren't willing to commit. Even if married and having an affair, that person either loves you enough to get a divorce and commit to you or they simply don't love you enough. Marcy

How many years in 42 weeks?

In an average year, there are 52 weeks.

Hence in 42 years, there are 52 x 42 weeks = 2184 weeks.

However, if you want to take the number of days + leap years into account (which occur every four years), then you must calculate using the number of days.

Therefore, on average, there are 365.25 days per year (taking into account leap years).

365.25 x 42 = 15340.5

15340.5/7 = 2191.5 weeks.

For a specific answer if you're calculating in terms of specific years, you would have to determine which year is the first leap year to determine how many leap years occur in the 42 years.

Why do you not use 365.25 days per year to account for leap-year?

Too many people would be confused. Let's just keep it how it is.

In what years was a Marlin 39 carbine with serial Y10559 made and what would the approximate value be?

I have to assume your gun is a Marlin 39a, not a model 39. These guns are similar, but the 39 began in 1922 until 1938, while the 39a started in 1939. A "Y" prefix would make your gun a 1964 model.
