How Leap Years Work
A leap year adds one extra day — February 29th — to keep the calendar year synchronized with Earth's orbit around the sun, which takes approximately 365.25 days.
The rule: a year is a leap year if it's divisible by 4, except for century years, which must also be divisible by 400. That's why 2000 was a leap year but 1900 was not.
