Bissext, or bissextus (from Latin bis 'twice' and sextus 'sixth') is the leap day which is added to the Julian calendar every fourth year and to the Gregorian calendar almost every fourth year to compensate for the almost six hour difference in length between a common calendar year of 365 days and the average length of the solar year.
The International Fixed Calendar (also known as the Cotsworth plan, the Cotsworth calendar, the Eastman plan or the Yearal) [1] was a proposed reform of the Gregorian calendar designed by Moses B.

The solar cycle is a 28-year cycle of the Julian calendar, and 400-year cycle of the Gregorian calendar with respect to the week.

Each calendar year is typically 365 days long, with the idea that it takes that many days for the Earth to make one complete rotation around the sun. ... but the years 1700, 1800, and 1900 were ...
The years 1800 and 1900 were also century common years, and so will be 2100, 2200, 2300, 2500, 2600, 2700, 2900, and 3000. The Gregorian Calendar repeats itself every 400 years, so century common years start on a Friday if the remainder obtained when dividing the year by 400 is 100 (dominical letter C), Wednesday if the remainder is 200 ...
