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.
