A leap year contains 366 days, where February has 29 days: intercalated to compensate for the quarter-day difference between an ordinary year and the astronomical year.
This is because the Earth actually takes 365.24 days to orbit the Sun completely. This figure is rounded to 365.25, so after four years, we have to add an extra day.
Occurring in years whose last two digits are evenly divisible by four, except for centenary years not divisible by 400.
Is fantastic!I like it much.
