Interesting Time Facts
- A leap year occurs every 4 years, adding an extra day (February 29) to the calendar.
- A sidereal day (23 hours, 56 minutes, 4.1 seconds) is slightly shorter than a solar day (24 hours) because Earth rotates while orbiting the Sun.
- A light-year is a measure of distance, not time. It's the distance light travels in one year (about 9.46 trillion kilometers).
- The atomic second is defined as the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of cesium-133.
- The concept of "leap seconds" occasionally adds or removes seconds from UTC time to account for irregularities in Earth's rotation.
