# Julian versus Gregorian Calendar The **Julian calendar**, introduced by Julius Caesar in 45 BCE, assumed a year length of exactly 365.25 days, implementing a leap year every 4 years. However, this overestimated the true solar year by about 11 minutes, causing the calendar to drift from astronomical seasons. The **Gregorian calendar**, adopted in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII, corrected this by refining the leap year rule: **a year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4, except for century years, which must be divisible by 400**. This formula (year % 4 = 0 AND (year % 100 ≠ 0 OR year % 400 = 0)) gives an average year of 365.2425 days, closely matching Earth's 365.2422-day orbital period.
