Dude stop making useless posts/threads just to get your post count up. This is a silly question which can be solved by a simple google search.

Dei: You know the Gregorian Calendar is the Christian Calendar (or as we know it "Our calendar")

So 365+365+365+365+1 = 1461 days.
This is simple knowledge though, prob easily find able elsewhere
(Try questions with a little more than a simple answer)

Mate, I couldn't find it when I Google'd it and it was for a forum registration. Not everyone is clever like you.

I tried 365 Days X 4 but it didn't work. Now I know you have to +1.

Seems like post count doesn't REALLY matters on this forum.

It doesn't really, tho new members need quite a few to get junior. (Also need time, so spamming wont work)

I don't really get the point of counting posts.

Seriously? No one is going to explain why the +1?!
Dei, it takes the world about 365 and ONE FOURTH of a day to go around the sun. So you can think about adding 365 and 1/4 or 365.25 together four times to get the answer you add that together 4 times to get your answer.
It's called a 'leap year', once every four years we add an extra day to February to account for it.

It's just something almost all forums just do. It means whatever you wish it to mean, most people don't care for it. Remember quality over quantity.

Yeah, I thought the calender was another type of ancient calender lol. I knew there was 366 days every 4 years I think.

The Earth fully rotates 1461.024 times every 4 years, getting less and less each time.

Why is it getting less each time?

As far as we can tell using lithostratographic methods, in the past there have been far more cycles of the planet (days), getting less and less each time. Suggesting that the spin of the Earth is slowing down, so in several thousand years, we may be working 12 hour days and still have an evening :)

Wait, so the days are getting longer or shorter?

Ohh, that's kinda epic that it's longer, but less sucks!
