Generally, a leap year occurs in years divisible by four but not in years divisible by 100, unless they are divisible by 400, in which case a leap year does occur. So, 2008 was a leap year, and the next one will be four years later, in 2012. (The year 2000 was a leap year because it was divisible by 400.)

∙ 13y agoThe earth moves round the sun approximately once every 365 and 1/4 days, making one year.
So every year an extra 1/4 a day isn't counted, so in 4 years a extra full day will be created, (1/4 times 4) and to make up for that day, every 4 years there is a leap year, containing 366 days.
