A 'Leap Year' occurs every four years.

To find a Leap Year, the year number must be divisble by '4'.

2020 / 4 = 505 so is a leap year.

2021 / 4 = 505.25 So NOT a leap year

2022 / 4 = 505.5 So not a leap year

2023 / 4 = 505.75 ~So not a leap year

2024 / 4 = 506 - so is a leap year.

et.seq.

NB The Earth orbits the Sun in 365.24 days. The ' -.24' is nearly a quarter of a day. So four quarters makes one whole day, so that one whole day is added every four years. However, the '-.24 - -0.25 = 0.01 ' So there is still a one hundredth of a day to account for. This is 14.4 minutes, so about once every 25 years a leap year is missed in order to account for this differential.

Remember the old verse:-

Thirty days hath September ,

April, June and November.

All the rest have thirty one,

Excepting February alone,

Which has 28 days clear,

And 29 days each Leap Year.
