The inhabitants of Proxima Centauri b are still bewailing your departure. Their version of RMWeb hasn't been the same since.

I guess the question you have to ask yourself is does it feel longer or shorter than 24,107 days

Thank goodness for years and months, what would we do without them even if they are very odd in that we have 365 and a 1/4 days in a year and months vary in length with one of them having an extra day once every 4 years to resolve that little issue of 1/4.

It's a wee bit more complicated than that, for exact reasons that I don't remember (or, more likely, never understood in the first place.)

A leap year is any year evenly divisible by 4. Unless it's also evenly divisible by 100. Unless it's also evenly divisible by 400.

So 2012 was a leap year. But 1900 wasn't. But 2000 was.
