How many hours in a non leap year?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well, there are 365 days in a "non leap year" and there are 24 hours in a day so 365x24=8760. But, every year which is not a leap year there is an extra quarter of a day so 24 divided by 4 =6, so there is another six hours on top of the 8760 so altogether there are 8766 hours in a "non leap year".

Hope I helped....

What happens to the earth when leap year comes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Leap year is just a way for man to keep up on the math, it has nothing to do with the sun or the Earth. A year is classed as how long the earth takes to travel round the sun. This actually takes 365.25 days, but for easiness sake we say it lasts 365 exactly. Only this left a quarter of a day each year unaccounted for and this would soon add up and mess up the whole system of measuring years, seasons and such. To this end it was decided that every four years, on extra day would be added to calendar year, as every year a quarter of a day was lost, so four quarters make a whole day. The extra day in the leap year has no effect on the earth or the sun, it is simply a way of keeping the calendar year the correct length.

How often do you experience a leap year?

User Avatar

Asked by Isasobers

One leap year (366 days) usually replaces every 4th normal year (365 days), except for the last year of three out of every four centuries. A leap year adds one more day to the month of February, which makes February have 29 days instead 28 days.

The correlation between dates and days of the week completely repeats every 400 years, with each 400-year period including 97 leap years.

What Year did littering start?

User Avatar

Asked by Kraziieekaren

I think litter started when people started to event plastic things

Littering as we know it today probably increased after the industrial revoloution, when people began living in greater concentrations in the citys and waste management became a problem. However the problem of people leaving rubbish in the street is an old one. in 1515 - Strafford-upon-Avon court record show that Shakespeare's father was fined for 'depositing filth in a public street'.

What is a leap year and when do they occur?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Generally, a leap year occurs in years divisible by four but not in years divisible by 100, unless they are divisible by 400, in which case a leap year does occur. So, 2008 was a leap year, and the next one will be four years later, in 2012. (The year 2000 was a leap year because it was divisible by 400.)

Was 1400 a leap year?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

1400 is a leap year in the Julian calendar, which was in use in Europe at that time. However, it is not a leap year according to the Gregorian calendar, the one we use today, because although 1400 is evenly divisible by 4 it is also evenly divisible by 100 and not evenly divisible by 400.

What year is mcmlxxx111?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's iii rather than 111...

It would be 1993.

M = 1000

Letters before other letters subtract them, letters after add them.

C = 100

so MCM = 1000 + (1000-100) = 1900

XC = 100-10=90

III = 3

Were 1984 and 1988 leap years?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. 1985 was not a leap year. The closest ones were 1984 and 1988.

Leap years are years evenly divisible by 4, (but not the even thousands ... 1900, 2000, etc.)

An easy way to remember which ones are leap years:
They're the years with Summer Olympics and US presidential elections.

The reason we have a leap year is due to the precise time it takes the Earth to orbit the Sun.

It takes the Earth 365.25 days to rotate around the Sun.
