What logic of leap year program?
one solar year consists of 365 and a quarter days, so every four years those quarters are added up to one day and you get an extra day in february.
Note: between 1901 an 2099 every fourth year is leap-year (1904, ... 2096).
Did February 30 and February 31 exist in the past?
Yes it existed in the past a long time ago because February 30 is followed by February 31, You know February 31 goes to March 1
Why did we not have leep years in 1600 1700 and 1800 years?
1600 was a leap year. 1700 and 1800 were not because they were not divisible by 400. If a year is divisible by 100, but not by 400, then it is not a leap year. That is the rules of a leap year. So 1600 was, but 1700, 1800 and 1900 were not; 2000 was and 2100 will not be.
What is the date 210 days after September 6 and not a leap year?
210 days after the 6th of September is the 4th of April in the following year, when the following year is not a leap year. If the current year is a leap year, then 210 days after the 6th of September would still be the 4th of April of the next year. If the following year is a leap year, then it will be the 3rd of April of that year.
This is quite complex.
Generally, if the number divides by 4 it's a leap year, so 2008 was a leap year.
But, if it divides by 100 it's not, so 1700, 1800, 1900 were not leap years.
But, if it divides by 400 it is, so 2000 was a leap year and 2400, 2800 will be.

How many days are in a leap year?
Unlike a normal year a leap year is 366 days, due to the fact that a year is actually 365.25 days in a normal year so every time a year goes by it adds up, for example 365.25 adds to 365.50 then 365.75 then finally 366 then it repeats. During a leap year, February has 29 days instead of 28.
Is the first year of a century a leap year?
No. The first year of a leap year always ends in a 01, and not 00, as some people think. A year ending in 01 is not divisible by 4, so it can never be a leap year. 2001 was not a leap year for example. If you meant to ask about years ending in 00, like 2000, then they are only leap years if they are divisible by 400. So 1900 and 2100 are not leap years, but 2000 is a leap year.
How many months have 29 days in a leap year?
One
An alternative is ALL of them (although some have more than 29).
A Leap Minute is a minute that is added or removed according to what's needed to keep our clocks and calendars in synch with the movement of our planet and the sun.
The movement of the Earth around the Sun, and around its own axis, doesn't match up exactly to our clocks and calendars. To prevent the error from growing year after year, Leap days, leap hours, leap minutes, even leap seconds, are regularly added to keep everything in synch.
What years was the 5th to 16th centery?

How many leap years have there been in the past 365 years?

we do not lose one day every leap year. on year is 365.25 days, so, every 4 years we add an extra day on which balences it out.
In a leap year does the earth move faster slower or at the same speed?
The earth moves at the same speed. A leap year is not caused by any physical change, but due to our system of measuring time and our reference calendars. A year - as defined by one rotation of the earth around the sun - is 365.25 days. Obviously this is inconvenient to note every year, the extra quarter of a day, 6 hours, before the new year starts. So instead, we round every year down to 365 days, and every 4 years add up the remainders, a total of 1 day, 24 hours. This keeps our calendars and time in sync with the physical definition of a year.
What is the Algorithm to check whether a year is a leap year or not?
Are the last two digits of the year divisible exactly by 4?
If the last two digits are"00" are the first two digits divisible exactly by 4?
I believe that in Russia "00" Leap Years are those which leave a remainder of 2 or 6 when the first two digits are divided by 9. This is actually more accurate than the system with which most of the rest of the world is familiar and was originated by the Greek Orthodox Church.
