Explanation:

What is the day of the leap?

In the four-year cycle, an extra day is added to the calendar. Adjustments to ensure that our calendar is always in sync with the time the earth needs to be in front of the sun. Specifically, the Earth orbit lasts 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds.

This extra 5+ hours is combined over time, so after four years, another day is added - the day of the leap - to our calendar with the sun.

When is the day of the leap?

Hell Day is February 29th. Why February? Because one of the goals of the calendar is based on the solar year, the Easter holiday in the spring. To do this, the calendar is set, so the vernal equinox is always on or near March 21st.

Ice crystals in the Bristol Glacier are 1 mm long. The crystals in the Camden Glacier are 0.5 mm long. Which of the following st
zvonat [6]

The correct answer is B. The Bristol Glacier is older than the Camden Glacier.

Explanation

The formation of glaciers has three stages. The first is the accumulation in which the snow falls in one place and accumulates there and forms the glacier. The second is compaction in which new layers of snow accumulate on top of the first ones, compacting the lower layers. The third is crystallization in which pressure and air cause snow to crystallize into glacial ice. Therefore, the age of a glacier can be known by its length, the older is the longer glacier. According to the above, if the length of the Bristol Glacier is greater than that of the Camden Glacier, it is because it is older. Then the correct answer is B.
