Earth travels around the sun once (approximately) every 365.25 earth days. A quarter day cannot be added into a year, therefore an extra day is added (as February 29th, Feb. being the shortest month) every 4 years. That year is called a leap year due to the leap of 4 quarter days to 'catch up,' causing a 366 day year.

How many years between leap years?
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.
