For our convenience we count only 365 days in an year.The balance of about 6hours is computed to one extra day after every four year.This additional day is added in the month of February in that year.So,february has 29 days and that year has 366days.Such an year is known as a leap year.

Leap Years are years divisible by four, with two exceptions. 1. "Century" year numbers (divisible evenly by 100) are not leap years. 2. Years divisible evenly by 400 ARE leap years. So years like 1992 and 1996 were leap years. Century years like 1900 or 2100 are NOT leap years. But 2000 was a leap year, and 2400 will be.
