Let's expand this article
editI searched but could not find a "time-stub" tag; this article probably needs one. I intend to expand this article "over time" (no pun intended). ProfessorPaul (talk) 19:13, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
Content
editWhy does this article mention "a century also with over 36K days"? What century had less than 36k days? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Oltemative (talk • contribs) 00:34, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
- A century always has either 36,524 or 36,525 days. A century ending with a century leap year has 36,525 days, while other centuries have 36,524 days. GTrang (talk) 15:04, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
Terminology
editThe topic is an end-of-century leap year. Centuries start on xx01, not xx00.
Comment
editA century leap year of the Gregorian calendar is the last year of any century that is evenly divisible by 400; other century years divisible by 100 but not by 400 are common years. For example, 1600 and 2000 were century leap years; the century years of 1700, 1800, and 1900 were common years. The next century leap year will occur in 2400. Century leap years always start on a Saturday, and the resulting part of February 29 intercalation in these days is always a Tuesday. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.97.150.107 (talk) 15:10, 2 January 2021 (UTC)
