While the Gregorian Calendar is more accurate, the Julian Calendar was a more impressive undertaking. It took over 1,600 years for the Julian Calendar to be off by a week and a half; while Julius Caesar had to make what we now know as 46 BC (708 Ab urbe condita to the Romans) be 445 days long to fix the utter mess the calendar at the time had become — and did so while being the commander of a war that lasted over four years.
So who hated February and gave it 28 days? Seven 31 day months and four 30 day months plus Feb could have been five 31s and seven 30s with an extra 31 for leap years. Solstices on Jan1 and July1, equinoxes on Apr1 and Oct1.
Props to Gregory
The Spanish learn the most accurate calendar from the Aztecs then they gave the credit to Pope Gregory…how convenient. Do your research properly😮
Every scientist with a great passion for sharing their knowledge deserves my total admiration and respect.

Year divisible by 4 => have a leap year
Year divisible by 100 => skip a leap year
Year divisible by 400 => don't skip a leap year
