Leap Second Time Adjustment Day
Leap Second Time Adjustment Day is listed as an observance only. Scientists do not make changes every year. Some years scientists do not make changes. If they do, it will be either June 30 or December 31.
Each minute contains 60 seconds, and the majority of the world clocks are based on a 24-hour day in which each hour contains 60 minutes. That measurement is much too simple for accurate time measurement..
Since about 140 AD, scientists have attempted to convert the hours of the day into a standardized and precise way of measuring. The 24 hour day measurement is not an exact science due to the Earth's rotation's constant variability.. The legitimacy of leap second adjustments is being questioned by some. Scientists do not make changes every year. Some years scientists do not make changes. If they do, it will be either June 30 or December 31. Science has increased 27 leap seconds between 1972 and 2020. Another factor affecting the atomic clock is the fact that the Earth's rotation is slowing, which means the length of our day is getting longer. Scientists found that no leap second was needed in 2020.
