There's a day for every number There is a time for all my slumbers And I can see that I can run and hide. Not today, not tonight Wooah oh, wooah oh Hold on tight friend of mine. Wooah oh, wooah oh The early sways You make me wonder If there is hope I'm going under Your spell of love It makes me warm inside everyday, everynight Wooah oh, wooah oh Hold on tight friend of mine. Wooah oh, wooah oh See you glow now I know. Look lost on every road you cross.

Option 1: A Paragraph
When you think of a day, you normally think of one cycle of daytime to nighttime. That is called a solar day. On Earth, a solar day is around 24 hours. That means some solar days on Earth are a few minutes longer than 24 hours and some are a few minutes shorter. Another way to measure a day is to count the amount of time it takes for a planet to completely spin around and make one full rotation.
Option 2: A Table
A leap year also known as an intercalary year or bissextile year is a calendar year that contains an additional day or, in the case of a lunisolar calendar , a month added to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical year or seasonal year. By inserting called intercalating in technical terminology an additional day or month into the year, the drift can be corrected. A year that is not a leap year is a common year. For example, in the Gregorian calendar , each leap year has days instead of , by extending February to 29 days rather than the common These extra days occur in each year which is an integer multiple of 4 except for years evenly divisible by , which are not leap years unless evenly divisible by Similarly, in the lunisolar Hebrew calendar , Adar Aleph , a 13th lunar month, is added seven times every 19 years to the twelve lunar months in its common years to keep its calendar year from drifting through the seasons. The term leap year probably comes from the fact that a fixed date in the Gregorian calendar normally advances one day of the week from one year to the next, but the day of the week in the 12 months following the leap day from March 1 through February 28 of the following year will advance two days due to the extra day, thus leaping over one day in the week. The length of a day is also occasionally corrected by inserting a leap second into Coordinated Universal Time UTC because of variations in Earth's rotation period. Unlike leap days, leap seconds are not introduced on a regular schedule because variations in the length of the day are not entirely predictable. Leap years can present a problem in computing, known as the leap year bug , when a year is not correctly identified as a leap year or when February 29 is not handled correctly in logic that accepts or manipulates dates.
