Would be a whole lot easier if we didn’t screw with the clocks in the first place.

Just be glad that the whole world uses the Gregorian calender!



Oh...

Wait...

Calendar seasonal error

Gregorian calendar seasons difference

This image shows the difference between the Gregorian calendar and the astronomical seasons.

The y-axis is the date in June and the x-axis is Gregorian calendar years.

Each point is the date and time of the June solstice in that particular year. The error shifts by about a quarter of a day per year. Centurial years are ordinary years, unless they are divisible by 400, in which case they are leap years. This causes a correction in the years 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100, 2200, and 2300.

 

 

How fast does the earth rotate??  23h 56m 4.098 903 691s
