Why are the century years which are not divisible by 400 are not considered as a leap year?
We have leap year (an extra day is added to the calendar year) every 4 years to keep the calendar year in sync with the solar year (how the earth revolves around the sun, which is how the seasons go). The earth does not revolve around the sun in an exact whole number of days.
But even that gets off after awhile, so every 100 years we have to eliminate leap day to make up the difference, and every 400 years we bring it back to prevent overshoot.
Leap seconds are also added every once in awhile to keep the clocks in sync with the rotation of the earth on its axis. Many people never even know that these occur, though.
