Below is the email that inspired the above post. I received it from one of my West of the Five clients this morning and is worth reprinting.
Thanks to MikeD and being back on coffee for the inspiration.
“Dear Friends,
Today is a BONUS day that we only get to celebrate once every 4 years.
It’s Leap Day!
I wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone how cool life is and to take some time and appreciate it. Also, I think leap year is pretty fascinating and thought you might enjoy the knowledge. Check it…
Why do we have leap years?
First, in order to clearly understand what a leap year is, let’s define the following.
Pay attention, because this is where it gets cool and rocks my world (literally).
Since our calendar is only 365 days long, there is a distance between where the earth is on its revolution and the end of its 365th day (365 rotations) and the completion of its orbit around the sun. It will take the earth .2422 days or just under 6 hours to cover that distance. Over the course of time, neglecting to adjust for this distance (1/4 day) would cause our seasons to eventually “drift” between the months. The fourth of July would one day be cold at the beach.
In order to ensure the seasons stay inline with our calendar (which is really just convenient for us) we add one day to the year every fourth year.
This system is not perfect though! You may have noted that one year is not exactly 365.25 days. There is still a difference between the calendar year (even with leap year) and the solar year. Adding one day, every fourth year is TOO MUCH! So… here are the rules for determining Leap Year.
Examples:
I hope everyone has a great day! It’s bonus so enjoy it!”
