Leap year comes around whenever people say it does.
It's a human invention, just like the rest of the calendar.
The system works like this:
Every fourth year is a leap year ... same year as the Summer Olympics and the US presidential election.
Those are the years that can be evenly divided by 4.
EXCEPTIONS:
The last year of each Century can be evenly divided by 4, but is NOT a leap year.
Examples are 1800, 1900, 2000, 2100, etc.

Where did Leap Year come from?
A leap year is a year that contains one extra day - February 29th. This was introduced in 1582 with the Gregorian Calendar. The name comes from the "leaping" a date will do during the leap year. For example, if a date falls on a Monday in 2001, Tuesday in 2002, Wednesday in 2003, it will "leap" over Thursday to fall on Friday in 2004.

Does the leap day affect when equinoxes and solstices occur?
Yes. If we did not insert the leap day during leap year, the calendar date of the equinoxes and solstices would change and eventually come at very different times in the calendar year. The whole purpose of Leap Year/Leap Day is to keep our calendar aligned with the equinoxes, solstices, and seasons in general.

What calendar year is the same as 1972?
As 1972 was a leap year, the same day/date combination does not come up very often. Since the start of the 20th century it was in 1916, 1944, 1972 and 2000. For the rest of this century it will repeat in 2028, 2056 and 2084.
How often do you have leap year?
Leap year happens every four years. Leap year day is February 29.
Why do some calendars get skipped over?
Because of leap years. Normally a date advances by one day each year, but a leap year causes a date to advance by two days. This results in a day being skipped. Those dates will come round again. A year's day and date combination will be repeated every 5th, 6th or 11th year.
