Answer:

It takes the Earth about 365 1/4 days to make one entire orbit around the sun (a day is one rotation around the Earth's axis). By adding one extra day about every four years, the Earth is in the same point of its orbit at the same time of the calendar year each year.

Answer:

The time it takes to revolve around the sun in a year. It takes Earth 365 days plus 1/4. After you add up 4 years, you will earn that extra day.
