A Journey Through Time: The Origins of the Leap Year
Our leap year story begins over 2,000 years ago with Julius Caesar, the Roman emperor who wanted to ensure festivals always aligned with the seasons. Back then, the Roman calendar was based on the moon, which is about 11 days shorter than the actual time it takes Earth to orbit the sun. This mismatch caused the seasons to drift over time! To fix this, Caesar introduced the Julian calendar in 45 BCE, which included a leap day every four years to keep things in sync.
Tweaking the System: The Gregorian Calendar
Fast forward to the 16th century, and astronomers noticed the Julian calendar was still slightly off. Pope Gregory XIII stepped in with the Gregorian calendar in 1582, refining the system by skipping some leap years to achieve even greater accuracy. This calendar remains the dominant system worldwide today, ensuring our seasons stay (mostly) predictable and our holidays don't get out of whack.
