What is the date of the extra day in a leap year?
The standard answer would be February 29, since only at leap year does February have more than 28 days. But in a way, isn't the extra day December 31? It is, after all, the 366th day of the year. Up until that day you have had an ordinary year of 365 days, ending on December 30.

How many hours in a non leap year?
Well, there are 365 days in a "non leap year" and there are 24 hours in a day so 365x24=8760. But, every year which is not a leap year there is an extra quarter of a day so 24 divided by 4 =6, so there is another six hours on top of the 8760 so altogether there are 8766 hours in a "non leap year".

What happens to the earth when leap year comes?
Leap year is just a way for man to keep up on the math, it has nothing to do with the sun or the Earth. A year is classed as how long the earth takes to travel round the sun. This actually takes 365.25 days, but for easiness sake we say it lasts 365 exactly. Only this left a quarter of a day each year unaccounted for and this would soon add up and mess up the whole system of measuring years, seasons and such. To this end it was decided that every four years, on extra day would be added to calendar year, as every year a quarter of a day was lost, so four quarters make a whole day. The extra day in the leap year has no effect on the earth or the sun, it is simply a way of keeping the calendar year the correct length.
How often do you experience a leap year?
One leap year (366 days) usually replaces every 4th normal year (365 days), except for the last year of three out of every four centuries. A leap year adds one more day to the month of February, which makes February have 29 days instead 28 days.
The correlation between dates and days of the week completely repeats every 400 years, with each 400-year period including 97 leap years.

What is a leap year and when do they occur?
Generally, a leap year occurs in years divisible by four but not in years divisible by 100, unless they are divisible by 400, in which case a leap year does occur. So, 2008 was a leap year, and the next one will be four years later, in 2012. (The year 2000 was a leap year because it was divisible by 400.)
