what do you think of it?
I find it surprising!

Then this end of year will be longer, I didn't know that.

yeah that's right.....I think the last one was in 2005

Ok, Then this year is longer, well, we will have more days to our favor.

yeah...but I think it's only one second longer.....the Earth's rotation, in the article, is slowing down actually

Then Earth's rotation is longer in the last seconds, it's happen this end of year.

You might enjoy this Wikipedia article: leap second, or try it in Spanish and see how much you understand. segundo intercalar

ok I will read the Wikipedia article, then TRY to read the Spanish one........
segundo intercalar is leap second, I know that....because I recognize segundo as second. if that is second then intercalar is leap.
