Samuel Clemens High School

leap year is a year containing one additional day.

Because seasons and astronomical events do not repeat in a whole number of days, a calendar that had the same number of days in each year would, over time, drift with respect to the event. By occasionally inserting an additional day into the year, the drift can be corrected.

GT AND IB STUDENTS

PLEASE TURN YOUR SURVEYS IN TO MS HOLMAN
