Indeed there can be 8 years between consecutive leap years. The rule is that a year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4 and not divisible by 100, or if it is divisible by 400. For example, 1700, 1800 and 1900 were not leap years but 1600 and 2000 were leap years.
The last occurrence of an 8-year gap between consecutive leap years was therefore 1896 and 1904. The next occurrence will be 2096 and 2104.

When is the next time that leap years will be 8 years apart?
2100 is not a leap year, because it is not divisible by 400, although divisible by 4 and by 100. So from 2096 to 2104, there will be an 8 year gap between leap years.
Why is there sometimes as little as 12 years or as much as 40 years before a leap year calendar repeats?
A leap year calendar normally repeats every 28 years. However, it isn't always the case that every fourth year is a leap year. A year divisible by 100, but not by 400 is not a leap year. 1900 was the last one of those and 2100 will be the next one. 2000 was a leap year. In the case of 1900 and 2100 and other such examples, there would be a 8 year gap between leap years. Having such a gap can throw out the pattern of leap years repeating every 28 years. A missing leap year within a 28 year period throws out the pattern. Here are two examples. 1896 and 1908 were both leap years with the same calendar. They were 12 years apart, but 1900 was not a leap year. 2076 and 2116 are leap years that are 40 years apart, during which there is no other repetition, but also during which there is the year 2100, which is less than 28 years after 2076 and so it throws out the pattern. They are examples of each.
Why is Leap Year sometimes every 8 years?
The rule for Leap Years is: A leap year will occurr in every year that is divisible by 4, except Century Years {unless exactly divisible by 400}. During this century there will be no leap year in the year 2100 because it is not exactly divisible by 400. So there will be an 8 year period for that leap year. 2096 is a leap year, 2100 is not, 2104 is, so there is the 8 years. By the way, anyone born on February 29 is known as a Leapling.
How many years does a leap year come?
There are 4 years between every leap year. Correction: There are 4 years between MOST leap years. That's the case 99.25% of the time. For the other 0.75% of the time, there are 8 years between leap years.
Can there be a span of 5 years without a leap day?
Yes. You can actually go for 8 years. Years divisible by 100, but not by 400 are not leap years. So 2100 will not be a leap year. 2096 will and the next will be 2104. The year 2000 was a leap year, because it was divisible by 400.
How many days would you have lived if you were 8 years old?
365 days in a year but because of leap years 365.25 days per year (approximately) 8*365.25=2,922 if you dont count leap days 2,920
How many seconds are there in eleven years?
You will have to figure out how many leap years. In this answer, I figured it based on if the leap year was on the 1st year. Then you would have one in your 1st, 5th and 9th year. Also figured that a year is 365 days and a leap year is 366 days. There are 31,536,000 sec in a year and 31, 622,400 sec in a leap year. 365dys x 24 hrs = 8760hrs a year 366dys x 24 hrs = 8784 hrs a leap yr 8760hrs x 60min=525,600min/yr 8,784hrs x 60min=527,040min/lp yr 525,600mins x 60sec=31,536,000sec/yr 527,040min x 60sec=31,622,400 sec/lpyr 31,536,000 x 8 regular years =252,288,000secs in 8 regular years 31,622,400 x 3 leap years = 94,867,200sec in 3 leap year 252,288,000sec +94,867,200sec = 347155200 347,155,200secs in 11 years if there are 3 leap years
How many hours in 30 years?
In any thirty year cycle, there can be either seven or eight leap years. For example, between 2012 and 2042, there are eight leap years, and between 2013 and 2043, there are seven leap years. In a thirty-year cycle in which there are 7 leap years, this is equal to (24 x 365 x 23) + (24 x 366 x 7) = 262968 hours. In a thirty-year cycle in which there are 8 leap years, this is equal to (24 x 365 x 22) + (24 x 366 x 8) = 262992 hours.
How many days is 33.5 years?
Since there are 365 days in one year you'd result in the following math and answer: 365 days/year x 33.5 years = 12191 days Now we did not calculate in leap years, where we have one extra day. Let's do so now. 33.5 years ÷ 1 leap day/4 years = 8 leap days. 12191 days + 8 days = 12199 days So there are 12191 days excluding leap years in 33.5 years. There are also 12199 days including leap years in 33.5 years.
What happens on a leap year?
Every year is actually 365 and 1/4 days long. So every 4 years they have to add another day so that everything stays in sync. So, every February, they add a an extra day, every 4 years, so that February has 29 days in Leap years and 28 in common years.
How many seconds is a thousand years?
You do the math. Divide 365 into 1000.-------------------Well if you want it in years, months, weeks and days, it's more complicated. The answer varies according to where in the year you're starting from (because of February) and if there is a leap year in that time.Starting from a 1st of January, with no leap year, it's two years, 8 months, three weeks and six days.-------------------
How many leap years are in the 20th century?
Look for a perpetual calendar on the Net, that should help. You would think there would be 25 but I am not sure they didn't skip a leap year in the year 2000 (which was the final year of the 20th century, not the first of the current one).
