The solar year has 365.25 days (more or less since the Indian Ocean Earthquake).
A common calendar year has 365 days.
A leap calendar year has 366 days.
A week has 7 days.
Both types of calendar years have 52 weeks.
But 52 x 7 = 364.
Where does the extra day go?
The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year, i.e., the day on which your hemisphere gets the greatest amount of sunlight. So why are July and August the hottest period of the year for the Northern Hemisphere when the longest day of the year is in June?
The Winter Solstice is the shortest day of the year. So why is January and February the coldest period of the year for he Northern Hemisphere when the shortest day of the year is in December?
