How does the earth move when its leap year?
The Earth moves the same in a leap year as it does in any other year. We have leap years because Earth takes about 365.25 days to go around the sun, not 365 days, so a leap year makes up for that in order to keep our calendars correct.
Does every country do leap year?
No ! The presidential elections are not always on a leap year. Even though a leap year is every 4 years, not every election is a leap year. The notable exceptions are years that mark centuries (example 1800, 1900, 2000). If those years are not divisible by 400, then the year is not a leap year.

What is a leap minute?
A Leap Minute is a minute that is added or removed according to what's needed to keep our clocks and calendars in synch with the movement of our planet and the sun. The movement of the Earth around the Sun, and around its own axis, doesn't match up exactly to our clocks and calendars. To prevent the error from growing year after year, Leap days, leap hours, leap minutes, even leap seconds, are regularly added to keep everything in synch.
Which calendars have leap years in them?
A year is considered a leap year if it is evenly divisible by 4, thus 2012 was evenly divisible by 4 so it was a leap year. 2013 does not evenly divide into 4 so it is not a leap year.There are two major exceptions, a year which is divisible by 4 but not by 100 is NOT a leap year (like 1900 wasn't), but if it is also divisible by 400 then it IS a leap year (like 2000 was).
Leap Year:?
A year with an extra day, February 29, was added to the calendar to account for the discrepancy between the solar and lunar calendars.
