There are 365 days in a year
And on a leap year there is 366 days in a year
Lets break this down
There 365 days in a year, 52 weeks in a year, 7 days a week.
52*7=364
Where did that other day go?
The answer isnt a leap year because in a normal year there is supposed to be 365 days and the leap year is supposed to make it 366 days a year when a leap year happens. But if you use this logic there is only supposed to be 364 days a year and on a leap year there is supposed to be 365 days a year.
If you have some theories post them below so i can hear them.

52 weeks would end on Dec. 30 this year. The "extra day" would be the 31st of December, which technically starts the 53rd week of 2017.

BecAuse you're rounding the days and weeks. Every 4 years the calendar is a day behind because it's not a prefect number of days it's really like 365.2xxx days so infour years we would have like .9xxx of a day added to the calendar
