Days move up one day each normal year and two in a leap year. So the date today will be a day later next year. If two leap years occur within a 6 year period, then two days will be skipped, meaning it will take 5 years for a calendar to be used again. 2006's calendar came around would have come after 6 years, because there was only one leap year between it and 2012, but 2012 itself was a leap year and there was a 29th of February in it, which was not in 2006. 2012 and 2016 are both leap years so there are two days skipped and in 2017, and the calendar will be the same as 2006 as it will not be a leap year.Days move up one day each normal year and two in a leap year.

How many year's are in 2 leap year's?
Two leap years individually are 2 years. If you mean starting from one leap year up to and including the next leap year, then that is 5 individual years. For example, the last leap year was 2012 and the next is 2016. So that is 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016.
How many days are in 248 years?
Depending on what day you start it can vary from 90580-90582 days. We have a leap year every 4 years except on years that are divisible by 100 like the year 1900 for example, but years that are divisible by 400 we have a leap year like the year 2000 for example. So i factored in that and came up with the answer.
Why are there 29 days in leap year in brief?
There are not 29 days in a leap year. There are 366 days in a leap year. There are 29 days in February of a leap year to make up for the fact that there is about 365.25 days in a year, not 365, meaning an extra day needs to be added every 4 years.
