   What is a leap year?

   • A leap year (also known as an intercalary year or bissextile year) is a calendar year that contains an additional day (or, in the case of a lunisolar calendar, a month) compared to a common year. The 366th day (or 13th month) is added to keep the calendar year synchronised with the astronomical year or seasonal year.

   How many days in a leap year?

   • Leap years have 366 days instead of the regular 365 days. The extra day is added in February, creating a new date: the 29th of February, which occurs once in four years. (Our day of the week calculator can tell you the exact day it will fall on.) Why do we need to add an extra day every four years?

   What is the difference between a common year and a leap year?

   • A common year (non-leap year) is shorter than a tropical year, which is the time it takes the Earth to orbit the Sun. A leap year is a little longer. Leap years are years where an extra day is added to the end of the shortest month, February. This so-called intercalary day, February 29, is commonly referred to as leap day.

   What is a leap year in the Gregorian calendar?

   • In the Gregorian calendar, the standard calendar in most of the world, almost every fourth year is a leap year. Each leap year, the month of February has 29 days instead of 28. Adding one extra day in the calendar every four years compensates for the fact that a period of 365 days is shorter than a tropical year by almost 6 hours.

   Is every 400 years a leap year?

   • Closer, but still not accurate enough! So another rule says that every 400 years is a leap year again. This gets us 365.2425 days per year (1 day regained every 400 years = 0.0025 days per year), which is close enough to 365.2422 not to matter much.

   What is a leap day?

   • The intercalary day that usually occurs every four years is called leap day and is created by adding an extra day to February. This day is added to the calendar in leap years as a corrective measure because the Earth does not orbit the Sun in precisely 365 days.
