What are Leap and Sidereal

A leap year is a calendar year that contains an additional day added to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical year or seasonal year. As Earth's orbital period around the Sun takes approximately 365.24 days, a leap year compensates for this fraction of a day by adding an extra day to the calendar every four years.

The term 'sidereal' refers to a time scale that is based on Earth's rate of rotation relative to fixed stars. A sidereal year is the time it takes for Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun relative to the vernal equinox. It is approximately 20 minutes longer than the tropical year upon which our calendar is based.

History of Leap and Sidereal

The concept of converting leap years to sidereal years stems from the need to align our calendar year with the astronomical year, which is crucial for precise timekeeping in astronomy and various scientific fields.
