The earth doesn't go around the sun in an exact whole number of days. Over the centuries it took people a very long time to discover how to handle this (so that equinoxes, harvests, midsummer etc always come at the same date). The solution is to add a day every 4 years. Even that isn't exact, and this rule is not applied on certain occasions.
The rule, in the Gregorian calendar, is that years evenly divisible by 4 would be leap years, except that century years not evenly divisible by 400 would not be. This century year rule accounts for the small residual error of 3 days in 400 years that the original Julian calendar did not account for.
The one before is wrong. My selective work teaching women teacher told me that it is a leap year, because look. 2500 take the 2 zero's off and check if the 2zeros fits in 25.
February only has 29 days on a leap year. As 2008 was a leap year, you can work it out from there. 2008-1992 = 16 years. 16 is a multiple of 4 so yes it was a leap year.
3080 will be a leap year.
my salary will remain the same but I will have to work an extra day because it is a leap year. Should I be paid extra.
1776 was a leap year
No. If the year number can be divided by four then it's a leap year. 2012=Leap year.
Yes 2016 is a leap year.
