Not me. I am entirely detached from this discussion.


Don't think so,when you have a meteorologist unable to affirm that
daily temperatures fluctuate in response to the daily rotation of the
Earth,that is quite something else.I doesn't matter to me whether
readers in this forum choose an imbalance of 1465 rotations in 1461
days which is tantamount to arguing cause and effect of daily
temperature fluctuations,the correct principles go somewhere else
where it will be dealt with properly.

Students do have a right to learn that the Earth turns once in 24
hours and 1461 times in 1461 days,it all depends on adults accepting
the true reference for rotation,in this case a proportion between
rotations and the number of times our planets makes a circuit of the
Sun,the ancients framed this as the 1461 days in 4 years and we still
inherit their system but ultimately there is a conversion between
days/years with rotations/orbital circuits that presently people
positively refuse to accept.

You are right,365 rotations in 365 days and 366 rotations in 366 days
with Feb 29th as both another day and another 24 hour rotation of the
Earth enclosed in a system of 1461 days as the Earth makes 4 circuits
around the Sun.
