No. The leap year happens because it actually takes the Earth 365 and a quarter days to go round the sun. The quarter days are ignored most of the time but to stop the calendar going out of sync, an extra day is added every 4 years so everything adds up. The tilt of the Earth causes the change of the seasons.
