What happens to someone if they are born in a leap year?

Answer 1

How old are you now? You divide how old you are now by 4 and that's your age - but people on leap years usually celebrate their birthday on the last day of February or the first day of March...

You are really the same age. You have just missed a few birthdays.

Answer 2

Nothing in particular. It is basically just another year, with one extra day. You would celebrate your birthday on the same day as every other year. So if you were born on the 19th of November in a leap year, then you would celebrate your birthday on the 19th of November in all other years too. The only issue is with someone who is born on the 29th of February. It is the only date in a leap year that does not occur in other years. Some people choose to celebrate their birthday on the 28th of February and some choose to celebrate on the 1st of March. It is really an individual decision. For anyone else born on any other day in a leap year, that is irrelevant. The only birthday effected in a Leap Year are those on born on Leap Day (February 29th). The difference would be that you would only get to celebrate your proper birthday every four years. You could say, for example, that you are only two years even when you've been alive for eight. Most people born on Leap Day tend to celebrate on either February 29th or March 1st.

Answer 3

To answer your question; the leap year started in February 29, 1904 then happens every four years since then and ending in 2098... so starting at 1904 : 1904, 1908, 1912, 1916, 1920, 1924, 1928, 1932, 1936, 1940, 1944, 1948, 1952, 1956, 1960, 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024, 2028, 2032, 2036, 2040, 2042, 2046, 2050, 2054, 2058, 2062, 2066, 2070, 2074, 2078, 2082, 2086, 2090, 2094, 2098.

So say you were born in February 29, 1976 and since its 2012 you would be 9 years old. Hope this kind of helped.

Answer 4

You would celebrate your 1st birthday 4 years after your born! Most people celebrate their Birthday on March 1st when their is no 29th of February.

Answer 5

Your Birthday comes around every 4 years. Instead of being 16 years old, you would only be 4 years old.

Answer 6

Nothing particularly special happens to people who are born in a leap year. They live normal lives, just as anyone else does.

Answer 7

If you were born in a leap year you could not be born in 1999 and conversely. Perhaps you should check your facts and rephrase the question so that it makes some sense.

Answer 8

Your official birthday is on February 29th, every four years, but you still can celebrate your birthday each year the day before or after. According to society you still age each year.
