Leap year comes around whenever people say it does.
It's a human invention, just like the rest of the calendar.
The system works like this:
Every fourth year is a leap year ... same year as the Summer Olympics and the US presidential election.
Those are the years that can be evenly divided by 4.
EXCEPTIONS:
The last year of each Century can be evenly divided by 4, but is NOT a leap year.
Examples are 1800, 1900, 2000, 2100, etc.

How often does the leap year dragon come around?

Where did Leap Year come from?
A leap year is a year that contains one extra day - February 29th. This was introduced in 1582 with the Gregorian Calendar. The name comes from the "leaping" a date will do during the leap year. For example, if a date falls on a Monday in 2001, Tuesday in 2002, Wednesday in 2003, it will "leap" over Thursday to fall on Friday in 2004.
How may leap years in a year?
Leap years are years which have one extra day, February 29th. These leap years come around once every 4 years, except those divisible by 100.
What is the date of the leap day?
February 29th is leap day
Does the leap day affect when equinoxes and solstices occur?
Yes. If we did not insert the leap day during leap year, the calendar date of the equinoxes and solstices would change and eventually come at very different times in the calendar year. The whole purpose of Leap Year/Leap Day is to keep our calendar aligned with the equinoxes, solstices, and seasons in general.
Was 02291953 a leap year?
That date doesn't exist; no odd-numbered year can be a leap year.
How often does Christmas day come on Sunday?
Every 5, 6, or 11 years, taking into account leap years.
Why do some calendars get skipped over?
Because of leap years. Normally a date advances by one day each year, but a leap year causes a date to advance by two days. This results in a day being skipped. Those dates will come round again. A year's day and date combination will be repeated every 5th, 6th or 11th year.
Why do you have to wait five years until you can use 2006s calendar again?
Days move up one day each normal year and two in a leap year. So the date today will be a day later next year. If two leap years occur within a 6 year period, then two days will be skipped, meaning it will take 5 years for a calendar to be used again. 2006's calendar came around would have come after 6 years, because there was only one leap year between it and 2012, but 2012 itself was a leap year and there was a 29th of February in it, which was not in 2006. 2012 and 2016 are both leap years so there are two days skipped and in 2017, and the calendar will be the same as 2006 as it will not be a leap year.Days move up one day each normal year and two in a leap year.

When will 2012 calendar be current again?
As of 2015, the next time 2012 repeats itself will be in 2040 and then 2068 and then 2096. 2012 was a leap year, so it takes longer for a leap year to come round to starting on the same date again.
