By what I can figure out, our Earth orbits around the Sun in 365.26 Days.
When I attended Elementary School I was told Spring always starts on March 21
each year.
Now Spring begins on March 20.
Makes Me wonder because Earth's orbit has an extra 1/4th Day how long it would
take when Spring begins on March 19?
Spring is a point in the Orbit that doesn't change, but the Calendar changes.

When thinking about Leap Year adding a Day every 4th Year caused Me to think
that Clock Time gets adjusted periodically when a Leap Second occurs.
