Actually, it's every four years, because a year is technically 365.25 days. They just divided it up to make it easier.

What is the probability that a year selected at random is a leap year with explanation?
The probability is very close to 0.25 A year is a leap year if the number is divisible by 4 - except if the number is divisible by 100 it is not a leap year - except if the number is divisible by 400 it is a leap year. So, in a 400-year period there are 97 leap years. The probability or relative frequency of leap years is, therefore, 97/400 = 0.2425
Are there leap years on other planets?
no theres not in my opinion because it has to do with the positioning of the sun. If they do it is very different
Can rollover happen in Call Options?
There is a specific kind of option that can be rolled over. It's called a LEAP option; LEAP means "long-term equity anticipation." (No, I don't know where the P comes from.) These are options with very long expiration dates...years even. And there are both Call LEAP and Put LEAP options. To rollover a LEAP option, you buy a new one, hold it for half its lifespan, then sell it and buy another one. The official name of this practice is Option Roll Forward.
The year 2000 is a leap year When is the next leap year after that?
Leap Years in the Gregorian calendar (named for Pope Gregory, who made it official) occur every 4 years, in year numbers that are evenly divisible by 4. So 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016 are all leap years. There are two exceptions. 1. For "century" years, those that are divisible by 100, these are NOT leap years. So 1900 was not a leap year, and 2100 will not be. Remember that; many of you will live to see this. Your children very probably will. 2. For century years that are divisible by 400, these ARE leap years even though point #1 says that they would not be. So 2000 was a leap year, and the year 2400 will be even though none of us will be around to see it. Every year that is a multiple of 4 will most probably be a leap year
Does the eclipse happen more on a leap year?
The term leap year is a misnomer. A year with February 29 is an intercalary year and is 366 days long. If by 'leap year' you mean February 29, the day added to the intercalary year, then there is no greater likelihood that an eclipse will happen then than on any other day; the calendar is a completely artificial construct made by us simply to help us organize time. If you are talking about the intercalary year as a whole, that is different. If you do calculations over a very large number of years, maybe 1,000 or 10,000, there will be a tiny but real increase in the number of eclipses during intercalary years, just by virtue of the fact that they are very slightly longer.
Can you cancel a leap year?
No, leap years cannot be canceled. Leap years are necessary in order to keep the calendar aligned with the Earth's orbit around the sun. Without leap years, the calendar would gradually fall out of sync with the solar year.
Can you be as young as seven to get your first period?

What is the similarities of light-year and leap year?
They are very different. Years are divisible by 4 are leap years, though if they are divisible by 100 and are not divisible by 400, then they are not leap years. A light year is a measurement of distance, not time. It is the distance that light travels in a year. It is about six trillion miles or nine trillion kilometres.
Which years are a leap year?
Leaps years are when there is an extra day in February. Why does this happen? It is because ... The Earth spins on it's axis of 23.5degrees. And one total spin is one day. In addition, Earth is spinning on it's axis while it's orbiting around the Sun. One complete orbit around the Sun is called a year. However, every year, there is actually 365.25 days. But we shorten it to 365 days a year. But in a leap year, there is 366 days. Can you guess why? It is because the quarter of a day left from the previous years adds up to one whole day. And this day occurs every four years. That day is February, the 29th. Consequently, a person who is born on February the 29th (which is the extra day in a leap year) is very unlucky. Why? Well, simply because his or her birthday occurs every four years.
