A Modest Proposal It seems our choices are to add leap seconds and endure the resulting confusion, or not add leap seconds and allow the year to drift with respect to the day. There is a third way that deserves more consideration: adjust the position of the earth periodically to keep the solar year equal to an average Gregorian calendar day. Kepler’s law says the square of a planet’s orbital period is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit. This means that increasing earth’s orbital period by 1 second would only require moving earth 1153 km further from the sun.
