지구의 자전·공전 속도를 기준으로 한 태양시의 차이로 인해 발생한 오차를 보정하기 위하여 추가하는 1초
AI overview
A leap second is an extra second that is occasionally added to our clocks to keep official timekeeping aligned with how fast the Earth is actually spinning. This adjustment matters because Earth's rotation is gradually slowing down, and without these corrections, our civil time would gradually drift out of sync with the sun's position in the sky.
