Question
Why do we have a leap year every four years?
Answer: Option A
Answer: (a)
The number of days in a year is 365 days and 6 hours (It is not a complete day). Having years of 365 days makes the year too short.
To keep up with the real length of the year maintaining an integer number of days, an extra day is added every four years.
