Because it takes approximately 365.25 days for the Earth to orbit the sun, an extra day is added every four years to compensate for this extra quarter of a day.

When a year is divisible by 100, it is only a leap year when it is also divisible by 400. For example, 1600 was a leap year, but 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not. 2000 was a leap year, but 2100, 2200, and 2300 will not be leap years.

The next three leap years after 2004 are 2008, 2012, and 2016. Leap years occur every four years, so you add four to the previous leap year to find the next one. Therefore, after 2004, the subsequent leap years are calculated as follows: 2004 + 4 = 2008, 2008 + 4 = 2012, and 2012 + 4 = 2016.
