I am really upset about this whole thing with time.

Why do they have the start of the new year on Jan 1? It would be more appropriate if the new year started on the exact time when any of the four solstices occur.

Every four years we add a day and that is still not accurate.

The South Pole is the other point where Earth's axis of rotation intersects its surface, in Antarctica . Earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the Sun , but once every 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds with respect to the stars ( see below ). Earth's rotation is slowing slightly with time; thus, a day was shorter in the past. This is due to the tidal effects the Moon has on Earth's rotation.
