Who created the idea for Leap Year?
Isaac Newton
Benjamin Franklin
Julius Caesar
Galileo Galilei
The idea of Leap Year was created back in the first century BC, when Julius Caesar and his team of astronomers noticed that their Roman calendar had somehow slipped out of sync with the seasons. They devised a 365-day calendar that would sometimes add an extra day to the last month of the year, which was February. The purpose of adding an extra day to February every four years was to align the 365-day Gregorian calendar with the solar calendar, which spans 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds long — almost precisely matching the duration of Earth’s orbit around the sun.
The correct answer is Julius Caesar.
