12:18Now PlayingHow long is a year? Neil deGrasse Tyson and comedian Chuck Nice explain the real length of a year, leap days, and our orbit around the sun. Is a year what we think it is? Find out why the year is not 365 days and why Leap Day does not quite solve the problem. Are there other types of years we could go off of? Learn about the sidereal year and how Earth's orbit precesses around the sun. Plus, what made the leap year in 2000 so rare?
