Leap Year

There were 16 of them. They were 1952, 1956, 1960, 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012.

A person born on the 29th of February only has an actual birthday every leap year, however, such a person still gets a year older every year, as we all do, and would normally consider the last day of February (whether it ends on the 28th or the 29th) to mark the end of another year of their life. Whether such a person would have an actual birthday celebration on the 28th of February, in a non-leap year, or would only celebrate during leap years, is really up to that person.

Nope. The only leap years of the 1870s were 1872 and 1876.

As of 2015, there have been 17 leap years since 1945. They were 1948, 1952, 1956, 1960, 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008 and 2012. The next one will be 2016.

2017 is an odd number. Odd-numbered years are never leap years.

A leap year is every 4 years, with the exception of years that can be divided by 100 and cannot be divided by 400. So 1900 was not a leap year, but 2000 was.

no 2008 2012 2016 are leap years

yr 200 was not a leap as it is perfectly divisible by 100. The criterion for determining whether a yr is a leap yr is-

Either 1.)it should be perfectly divisible by 400

Or 2.) it should be perfectly divisible by 4, while being not perfectly divisible by 100.

A year is longer than 365 days so the need to add a leap year every 4 years. But it is slightly less than 365.25 days so you don't want every fourth year to be a leap year. The current solution is that every fourth year is a leap year except when it is a century (a year ending in 00). This is a leap year only if it is divisible by 400 and not otherwise. So 2100, a century but not divisible by 400, is not a leap year.

On October 3, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln issued a proclamation calling for the observance of the fourth Tuesday of November as a national holiday. In 1939, President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved the holiday to the third Thursday of November (to extend the Christmas shopping season and boost the economy). After a storm of protest, Roosevelt changed the holiday again in 1941 to the fourth Thursday in November, where it stands today.

There are 366 days in a leap year.

They are very different. Years are divisible by 4 are leap years, though if they are divisible by 100 and are not divisible by 400, then they are not leap years. A light year is a measurement of distance, not time. It is the distance that light travels in a year. It is about six trillion miles or nine trillion kilometres.

1992 and 1996 were the leap years between 1990 and 1999.

Yes. It has to be done, in order to keep in line with the time Earth takes to orbit the Sun. It is not exactly 365 days, so without leap years our calendars would slowly go out of sync with our year as experienced by our seasons on Earth. So it is not just a good idea, but an essential one.

as of when this question is being answered, yesterday; before that, in 2002

There are about 365.2422 days in an average actual tropical year. Adding an extra day to 97 out of every 400 years makes the average Gregorian calendar year 365.2425 days. So Gregorian has only 97 leap days by adding a day every four years (considering a year has 365.25 days) but then leaving out a leap day in any year 100 that is not 400.

no
3 leap years is the right ans.

For our convenience we count only 365 days in an year.The balance of about 6hours is computed to one extra day after every four year.This additional day is added in the month of February in that year.So,february has 29 days and that year has 366days.Such an year is known as a leap year.

Yes. 68 is a multiple of 4. Since every hundredth year is a leap year, and a leap year occurs every four years, any year in which the last 2 digits are divisible by 4 is a leap year.

So every non-leap year, you could legally turn one year older on March 1st. Not on February 28th. Because every non-leap year, March 1st is thesame day as February 29th. Tonexa ( Hope you got the information)

No. Leap Years are always even-numbered, because they are always a multiple of four. Since no odd number is a multiple of four, there are no odd-numbered years that are leap years. Since 1959 is an odd number, it cannot be a leap year.

199. when christ was born the date started at 1ad

When a leap year happens, the new day is February 29.
