Gregorian

The adjective "Gregorian" refers to the Gregorian calendar, a solar calendar that is the most widely used calendar in the world. It is named after Pope Gregory XIII, who introduced the calendar in 1582. The Gregorian calendar is an improvement over the Julian calendar, which had a leap year every four years, resulting in an error of about 11 minutes per year. In the Gregorian calendar, a year is a leap year if it is divisible by four, but only if it is also divisible by 100, unless it is also divisible by 400. This eliminates three leap years every 400 years, resulting in an average year length that is very close to the actual length of a year.
