How many leap years in 237 years?
There can be up to 58, as it does depend on the span of the 237 years. Years divisible by 100, but not by 400 are not leap years. So 2000 was a leap year, but 1900 wasn't and but 2100 won't be.
The rate of decrease is 9%. It can be calculated as (10920/12000)-1 or (12000-10920)/12000.
When did the U.S. start to observe leap year?
The first leap year in the modern sense was 1752, when 11 days were 'lost' from the month September with the adoption of the Gregorian calendar by Britain and her colonies. After 1752 we adopted the system still in use today where an additional day is inserted in February in years wholly divisible by 4, other than years ending in 00 with the exception of those divisible by 400 which are still leap years (like 2000). This is certainly not the first use of leap years, the Julian calendar we used before 1752 had a simpler system of leap years, and remember, no calendar is universal.

Why do we only have a leap year every 7 years?
We do not have a leap year every 7 years. It is every 4 years. It is possible that in a sequence of 7 years, that there is only one leap year in the middle of it. For example 2000 and 2008 were leap years, so in the intervening 7 years, there was only one leap year:
2001
2002
2003
2004 was a leap year.
2005
2006
2007
In order keep the calendar years synchronized there has to be a extra day added to February every 4 years. The other years that are not leap year are called common years.
When is the next leap year after 2009?
The next leap year will be in 2012 and the last leap year was in 2008
______________________________
Leap years occur in every year where the number is evenly divisible by four, so 2004, 2008, and 2016 are all leap years.
There are two exceptions:
1. Year numbers that are evenly divisible by 100 are not leap years, so 1800 and 1900 and 2100 are NOT leap years. Except...
2. Year numbers that are evenly divisible by 400 ARE leap years, so 1600 and 2000 were, and 2400 will be.
Last Leap Year was '2008'. Next Leap Year is '2012'.
If any year is divisible by 4 but not divisible by 100, then its a Leap Year. e.g. 2008.
OR
If any year is divisible by 400, then its a Leap Year. e.g. 2000.
2012 was the first leap year after 2009.
By the medieval rules for roman numerals (the ones that say IV is a different number from VI), that's a nonsense combination.
By traditional roman rules (add up all the values no matter what order they appear in) it's 2155.
How does leap year work scientifically?
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.
