Everything you need to know

A Leap Year is a calendar year that contains an additional day—February 29th—added to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical year or seasonal year.

The Rules of Leap Years:

1

Divisible by 4

Most years that are divisible by 4 are leap years.

2

The 100 Year Exception

If a year is divisible by 100, it is NOT a leap year...

3

The 400 Year Exception

...unless it is also divisible by 400. Then it IS a leap year.
