<font size="+2" class=""> It takes 365 1/4 days for our planet to circle
the Sun. We have leap years every 4 years to make up for this
oddity so our calender's don't get wacky over time. This of course
means that on the new years between leap years we haven't made a
complete orbit around the sun on New Years eve. In a leap year we
celebrate the start of a new orbit a day late. We just have to get
used to this as it would be very difficult and perhaps very
dangerous to change our planets orbit so it was exactly 365 days.
Even so it just don't seem quite right to me. <br class="">
<br class="">
And while I'm on the subject I've been wondering since our
planets orbit around the sun is at 90° (close enough!) to the path
of the sun's orbit in the Milky way (we are headed North) then at
this point in the Earth's orbit, I mean New Years, are we in the
same place relative to the center of the galaxy every year? Which
side are we on, close to the center or away? You see I just feel
more comfortable when we are 180,000,000 miles further away from
the black holes I've heard of at the heart of the Milky Way. <br class="">

the ride...<br class="">
