What is every day of the year but not leap year?
Well go look on a calender! But not a leap year one!
Why are leap years called leap years?
Probably because the date "leaps" forward. In real terms it should be called a leap day.
Leap years are called leap years because of the effect is has on the following calendar dates for the next year. For example in a normal 365 day year, if a calendar date fell on Monday this year will be on a Tuesday next year, but the leap day alters the direction of the calendar cycle so if a calendar date was on a Monday and there is a leap day involved in the next year, the same date the following year will be forced to Wednesday (skipping the Tuesday).

Leap years are necessary because the Earth completes exactly one revolution round the Sun in 365 days plus a little less than 6 hours. So usually a leap year every 4 years brings the calendar back in line with the astronomical seasons.
In each cycle of 400 years there are 146097 days altogether, giving an average year-length of 365.2425 days, which is close enough for most purposes but is corrected occasionally by extra leap seconds when needed.
The earth rotates around the sun for 365 days and 6 hours our convenience count only 365 Day's after every 4 Years 24 hours get completed we add the time an as additional day in February which is of 29 days. thus every fourth year is known as leap year.

Yes, 1804 was a leap year.
Any year whose number is evenly divisible by four is a leap year, with two exceptions.
Any year whose number is evenly divisible by 100 is NOT a leap year.
Any year evenly divisible by 400 IS a leap year.
So, 1800 was not a leap year, while 1804 WAS a leap year. 1900 was not a leap year, while 2000 (being divisible by 400) was a leap year.
a leap year occurs every four years as the earth spins 365 1/4 times so the quarters make a full one every four years giving us a leap year /an extra day
Which is the 1st month of the year?
January is the first month of the year (just because december is the beginning of summer doesn't mean it's the first of the month).
No. 1900 was not a leap year.
To understand why you have to know the rules. The rules are:
- Every year divisible by 4 is a leap year (so 1900 would be leap year)
- Rule 1 does not apply if it is a centenary year eg 2000 (so 1900 isn't a leap year)
- Rule 2 does not apply if the centenary year is also divisible by 400 (this doesn't apply to 1900 so it still isn't a leap year)
- Rule 3 does not apply if the centenary year is divisible by 4000 (this doesn't apply to 1900 so it still isn't a leap year)

If you get married in a leap year then when is your anniversary?
Your anniversary in non-leap years will be on the the same date in every other year. The only exception is if you got married on the 29th of February. In that case you would usually celebrate it on the following day (ie. March 1st). This is because an anniversary is a mark of a whole year from the day you got married or from the last anniversary. Feb 28th is short of one day for that year to be completed. If there's no Feb 29th that year, then by March 1st, the year would be up. Some people use the 28th of February in non leap years because it is the day before the 1st of March, like the 29th of February, but most with anniversaries or birthdays celebrate on the 1st of March.
Which is not a leap year 1900 2000 1952 1980?
1900 was not a leap year because it's evenly divisible by 100 but not evenly divisible by 400.
In the next 20 year what year would it be?
In the next 20 years, the leap years will be 2016, 2020, 2024, 2028 and 2032.
