What are three things that have to happen in order to get a leap year day?
There aren't really 3 things that have to happen in order to get a leap year day. The simple reason for a year having a leap year day is that the earth revolves around the sun in approximately 365.25 days, and so to make sure that a calendar year is the same as a tropical year (which is the period of earth's revolution), there needs to be an extra day added every 4 years.

You would celebrate it on the same date. The fact that it is a leap year should make no difference. It is only if the death happened on the 29th of February that there is a confusion. In that situation most people will celebrate anniversaries and birthdays on the 1st of March, seeing as it is the day after the 28th of February, as the 29th of February is. Some may opt for the 28th of February, as it is the day before the 1st of March, as the 29th of February is. For other dates in leap years then birthdays and anniversaries and other commemorations will always be on the same date.

"Rockabilly music has recently been revived by a new generation of young musicians who love the rough-edged, countrified rock sounds that were last heard in 1954, primarily on Sun Records in Memphis. The fact that radio won't play the music and record companies won't sign the artists doesn't seem to dissuade the 18-year olds who are picking up a guitar today. Many rockabilly bands are playing for gas money at non-traditional venues, such as bowling alleys, just to get on stage and entertain."

The years in the 1960s which contained 366 days were 1960, 1964, and 1968.
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.
What is the order of magnitude for the number of seconds in a leap year?
107. Leap year or ordinary year makes no difference.
