What is a leap year?
A leap year is a year in which one extra day is added to the calendar to compensate for the difference between the Earth's orbital period and the calendar year. Typically, a leap year occurs every four years, and February in that year has 29 days instead of the usual 28.
What are the rules for determining a leap year?
A year is a leap year if it is divisible by 4, except for years that are also divisible by 100. However, if a year is divisible by 400, it remains a leap year. For example, the year 2000 is a leap year (divisible by 400), 1900 is not (divisible by 100 but not 400), and 2004 is a leap year (divisible by 4 but not 100).
