Leap Year (Tahun Lompat): 29 February 2008

Tahun Lompat bermakna ada satu hari been inserted, or intercalated, at the end of February. Pada tahun ini juga, 2008, kita mempunyai 366 (biasanya 365)
Kenapa kalendar memerlukan tahun lompat?
Tahun lompat diperlukan untuk our calendar in alignment with the earth’s revolutions around the sun. The vernal equinox is the time when the sun is directly above the Earth’s equator, moving from the southern to the northern hemisphere. The mean time between two successive vernal equinoxes is called a tropical year–also known as a solar year–and is about 365.2422 days long.
