Why does the Haywood pool light always leak after four years at the rear end of the electrical connection?

Are you referring to the conduit? If so, it is probably made of steel tubing and probably not installed to code. In California this conduit is supposed to be red brass. You should have a licensed pool tech or pool builder look at the job to see what it entails for repairs. The red brass if used should be of one piece from the back of the light niche to the j-box which should be located up to 10' from the pool edge and at least 24" above the deck. These measurements may not be exact since I do not know the codes in your area.

Will you need a leap year in the martian calendar?

Well, yes and no. The reason why we have a leap year here on Earth is because the ancient Egyptians arbitrarily divided the day into 24 hours. We kept this convention and determined that it takes Earth 365 days to make one revolution around the sun (one year.) Adding an extra day to the calendar every four years compensates for the fact that a period of 365 days is shorter than a solar year by almost 6 hours. If we didn't add that extra day, our seasons would become more and more "off" of what we actually experience each year.

Since we are able to determine the precise length of one Martian year (or one revolution around the sun,) we could easily calculate a precise calendar in which the calendar year exactly models the solar year, and the leap year is unnecessary. If we want a Martian day to contain an even number of hours, it will most likely need to have a leap year since I doubt a multiple number of Earth days is exactly one Martian year.

When is the next leap year not an election year?

Why are century end leap years skipped?

Im guessing this is because there is 365.2422 days in a year which is slightly shorter than a quarter of a day so the leap year does not totally set it right with the seasons and if they didn't then the seasons would come slightly earlier each year so every 100 years they skip the leap year to set it right. If it didnt do this then every 100 years the seasons would be early by 8days and over a 1000 years the year would be 80 days out meaning Christmas could nearly be spring

What day is the middle of the year on a leap year?

Only years with an odd number of days (common years) can have a middle day. Which is the 2nd July (182 days before and 182 days after). Leap years having 366 days have the midpoint at the end of the 183rd (or the start of the 184th) but in countries where daylight saving is used, and the clocks were put forward one hour in spring the actual midpoint is at one hour after midnight on the 2nd of July, when 4392 hours have elapsed and there are 4392 hours remaining.

How often and why is there a leap year?

The year isn't exact; instead of being 365 days, it is 365.26 days.

The Gregorian calendar uses leap years to keep the calendar in synchronization with the seasons. Many religions, including Jews and Christians, expect certain holidays to occur in specific seasons. For example, Easter and Passover are spring holidays (living in the northern hemisphere, as most people did back then) with Christmas in the winter.

The old Julian calendar didn't do that, and by the 1500s, the date of Easter was two weeks out of whack. So Pope Gregory organized a commission to revise the old calendar, and in 1582, the new calendar was adopted. So we have a leap year in any year that is divisible by four or 400, but not century years otherwise.

How many months are in 80 weeks?

This is a trick question, so to speak, as there are no months in weeks; there are weeks in months. Also, it would vary depending on how many days in a month, whether or not it is a leap year, what calendar you are looking at and so on. In the most basic sense, 1 month equals 4.34812141 weeks, so 80 weeks would equate to roughly 18.399 months. ==anwser== typically one month is considered to have 4 weeks, so 80 weeks would be approx 20 months

What years have 5 Wednesdays in February?

February 2012 had 5 Wednesdays.. February is a leap month this year.. Leap years occur every four years (Like the Olympic games).

The 1st of February was a Wednesday, and the last day of February - the 29th - was also a Wednesday.

So if you think of it this way - there are 7 days in a week, and, leap year is every 4 years. multiply 7 x 4 - 28... so every 28 years the 1st of February will be a Wednesday.

The next time 5 Wednesdays in February occurs after 2012, is 2040, then 2068, etc.
