Is 2023 a Leap Year
No, 2023 is a common year. The next leap year would be in 2024.
The time period of a day is determined by the time it takes the Earth to completely rotate on its axis and is measured through the time it takes the Sun to reach its highest point in the sky, twice consecutively.
The Earth takes 12 months to complete one turn around the Sun. These months correspond to a whole year and are divided into units of 28, 30, or 31 days. So, one solar year is actually 365.25 days long, or 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds.
Leap years happen every four years and add one extra day to the calendar to make up for those extra 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds. These hours are rounded up to 6 hours because 6 times 4 is 24. The 24 corresponds to the hours that make up a whole day. This extra day is added to February, which has 29 days during a leap year.
