It takes the Earth about 365.2422 days to orbit the sun exactly once. Because of this, we have three years which are 365 days long and every fourth year is 366 days long (leap year).

Because the Earth takes 365.2422 days to orbit the sun instead of exactly 365.25 days, we only have a leap year on a century year which is divisible by 4 and by 400 (such as 2000). Century years which are divisible by 4 but not by 400 are not leap years (1900 wasn't and 2100 will not be).
