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.
