Leap Years occur because the Earth does not orbit the Sun in exactly 365 days; the Earth orbits the Sun in 365.24 days. So every 4th year is a leap year in the Gregorian calendar, when an extra day - February 29 - is added to the calendar.

There are two exceptions to the "every 4 years" rule.

1. Century years that are divisible by 100 are NOT leap years, UNLESS

2. the century year is divisible by 400.

So, from 1900 to 2012, every 4th year was a leap year EXCEPT 1900. 1900 was not a leap year, and 2100 won't be. But 2000 was a leap year, because 2000 can be evenly divided by 400.

The Gregorian calendar will be accurate enough for anyone alive today but it is going to need a correction in the future. The above rules would be accurate if the orbit was exactly 365.2425. The actual orbit is 365.242199. Thus approximately every 3,200 years, in conjunction with rule 2 above, we will need to skip the planned leap day.

A leap year occurs every 4 years when divisible by 4; except when divisible by 100 it is not; except if divisible by400 it is.

So 1800 and 1900 were not leap years; but 1804, 1808, and every four years up to 1928 were leap years
