Question

If it takes 365 days for the Earth to orbit the sun, why is it that on leap years such as 2020: it takes 366 rather than 365 days to complete a full orbit?

Answer 1

Explanation:

2020 is a leap year, a 366-day-long year. Every four years, we add an extra day, February 29, to our calendars. These extra days – called leap days – help synchronize our human-created calendars with Earth's orbit around the sun and the actual passing of the seasons.

Answer 2

Answer:

actually it takes 365 1/4 days for the earth to orbit the sun.

Explanation:

every four years once all the 1/4 are added and we will get extra one day..that is the leap year
