April 8 is the 98th day of the year (99th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar.

Well thank you very much for letting us know that!

April 8 is the 98th day of the year (99th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar.

I concur. The calendar used throughout the world today is the Gregorian calendar. It is sometimes called a "Christian" calendar, and additional historic information about this calendar, and its precursor, the Julian calendar, are available in the history of the Cristian calendar section.

The Gregorian calendar is the one commonly used today. It was proposed by Aloysius Lilius, a physician from Naples, and adopted by Pope Gregory XIII (portrait above right) in accordance with instructions from the Council of Trent (1545-1563) to correct for errors in the older Julian Calendar. It was decreed by Pope Gregory XIII in a papal bull, Inter Gravissimas, on February 24, 1582 (shown at right). This bull is named "Inter Gravissimas" after its first two words.

In the Gregorian calendar, the tropical year is approximated as 365 97/400 days = 365.2425 days. Thus it takes approximately 3300 years for the tropical year to shift one day with respect to the Gregorian calendar.

The approximation 365 97/400 is achieved by having 97 leap years every 400 years.

And you (one person) created both accounts in 2012 to tell us that? Why didn't u say something before? Were u counting days till u confirmed everything?

wow

Why would you dig up a 6 year old dead post relating to nothing?

I get it on front page, no digging
