Congrats, you're almost 100 years old. How's it feel to be a living fossil?

Congratulations ! You are ONE DAY short of your 100th birthday.


The length of the tropical year governs our calendar. That length is about 365.24219 days. ( This is ~ 20.4 mins less than the sidereal year because of Earth's precession. Variations in the year's length currently occur in further significant figures.)

You would then naively appear to be just a mere 0.219 days short of your birth time on the 100th anniversary of your birth, IF the calendar, on average, kept in perfect coordination with the tropical year. However, it doesn't, days are quantized, and that is not yet the end of the story.

The leap year system (one extra day every 4 years) creates an average year length of 365.25 days, ignoring the little glitches provided by centuries not being leap years if they are perfectly divisible by 100 --- except for those where 400 is a factor, which still ARE leap years. (By having leap years every four years but not in the century year, the average length of the calendar year is indeed hauled back to 365.24 days. Since that's now slightly too small, the additional extra day every 400 years tunes it to be slightly larger yet again, and thus a little bit more accurate over the 400 years' long haul --- except that now it's slightly too long again... .)

However, that doesn't concern us right now, since 2000, being divisible by 400, was still a "standard leap year." Thus 100 years, spanning the year 2000, would in fact be 36,525 days.

So, anticipatory congratulations: TOMORROW is your 100th birthday!

I normally end with "Live long and prosper." You obviously did the former; I hope the latter was also the case for you.

There were 25 leap years this century so you would be a day short of 100. Most centuries have 24 leap years though so you would be 100.
Every 100 years on the 00 year there is no leap year except every 400 years ... so 2000 had a leap year but 2100 will not

36,524 days =100 years
876,576 hours=100 yrs
52,594,560 minutes= 100 yrs
3,155,673,600 seconds=100 yrs


Note: I repeated my answer several times because I figure that anyone 100 years old probably has a bad memory :)
