Most people think it takes 1 year (365 days) but no that actually is wrong. It takes 365 and one fourth days to go around completely. However old you are is how many trips you have made around the sun in your lifetime

The Earth does take any longer in its orbit in a leap year than a normal year. The leap year is just to compensate for the difference between the 365 whole days in a normal year and the 365.256366 days it takes to complete one orbit.

Over 4 years this equals about 1 more day hence the need for 1 more day in February.
