(For Intergalactic Travelers)
Planet Earth takes 365.25 days to travel around the Sun. These days are divided into 24 hours and grouped by weeks of 7 days. There are 52 weeks in the year. Every fourth year Humans add a 'Leap" day and on that day you can ask someone to marry you.
Complicated, but that's Earth for you!
Are you a four armed Galactic visitor who forgot your pajamas?
