a (non-leap) year consists of 52 weeks plus an extra day. For
a leap year, there will be two extra days, since the remainder of 366 divided by 7 is 2.
drewstar:
That's because the earths rotation around the sun does not take exactly 365 days. It's more like 365.25 days. If we didn't have a leap year to "Catch up", the calendar days wouldn't match the "seasonal days" Ie: eventually We'd be getting Snow on the Juy 4th.
