Answer 1

In England, 1752 (a leap year) only had 355 days in it, As September 2nd was followed by September 14th so as to change from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar,

Answer 2

Generally in Primary school, you take the number of days to be 365.

However, you should note that there is a leap year every 4 years and that year is taken to be 366. This is because every year is actually 365 1/4 days long, but it would be really inconvenient for all of us if the last day of the year is only 1/4 days long (i.e. 6 hours!). So they decided to "catch up" with the missing 1/4 days of the 4 years by increasing the number of days for the 4th year.

Answer 3

Actually it's 365.2422, not 365.25.

A common year (non-leap year) has 365 days, and a leap year has 366.

1) Every four years you have a leap year. 2004, 2008, etc.
2) But every 100 years you don't have a leap year. 2100, 2200, etc.
3) But every 400 years you do have a leap year. 2000, 2400, etc.

These rules were adopted in the Gregorian calendar, because the slight difference from 365.2422 years (the real length of the year) and 365.25 years (under the old Julian calendar, which was simply every 4 years) was enough that by the 1500s the calendar was over one week different from the stars. Some countries like Russia did not change over until this century, so the "October Revolution" actually took place in November. (The calendar needed to be adjusted by about 11 days.)

Answer 5

There are 365 days in a normal year and 366 in a leap year.

However ... it takes the Earth 365.25 days to orbit the Sun (1 year)

That's why once every 4th year, we have a leap year - to make up for that .25 of a day!

Answer 6

Remember that our planet is only one planet which orbits our Sun. As others have answered, our planet has 365 days in an Earth year. It takes the planet Jupiter almost 12 years to orbit the Sun. This means that if you lived on Jupiter, a year would last over 4,300 days. That would mean a lot of homework. Good luck with your studies.
