The earth takes roughly 24 hours to rotate on its axis. It takes 365.25 of these days to make one trip around the sun. The week, as a prior poster mentioned, was arbitrary human decision, don't ask me why. I'm not even going to get into how cultures decided how the months flow because it'll make my head explode.
So, yes, there are 52 seven-day weeks, plus an extra day left over. And then every four years, there is an extra day tacked on to February EXCEPT in years divisible by 100 that are not divisible by 400. So 1900 was NOT a leap year, but 2000 was. 2100 will NOT be a leap year either. That's because the 365.25 is not an exact number, but a number that has been rounded.

There are actually 365 1/4 days in a year that's why we have a Leap Year with an extra day every four years. A week' is just a measurement we make for our own convenience, as are months. If, for example, we had chosen weeks of 5 days instead of seven then we would have 73 weeks a year with an extra day every four years.

take a glance at your 2007 Calendar, January 1st is a Monday and December thirty first is a Monday. the 1st week of the twelve months starts on a Monday and ends on Sunday, which skill the 52nd (oftentimes the final) week of the twelve months might additionally ought to end on a Sunday to be certain that there to be precisely fifty two weeks a twelve months, however the final day of the twelve months is a Monday. which skill there are fifty two weeks and a million day for each Calendar twelve months, different than for bounce twelve months, while there are fifty two weeks and a couple of days. regrettably the Gregorian calendar isn't right and so we ought to function an afternoon right here and there to make up for that, subsequently, February twenty ninth each 4 years. And there are no longer fifty two a million/4 weeks a twelve months, there are fifty two a million/7 weeks a twelve months, whether, we are nevertheless short a million/4 DAY each twelve months and that's why we've bounce twelve months. desire this enables!

Yes. extra day. That is why the same date is a different day of the week next year than it was this year.

each year is 365.25 days long, thats why they have a leap year every four years and add on a day instead of counting the .25 each year. .25 * 4 = 1 day.

The extra day is International party day. But it's such a holiday that no one counts it as an actual day.
