How often does leap year occur?
Correct answer: Every four years
Heartland Old Guy
Adjustment made because our definition of the division of time is not precise enough for scholars snd scientists. Since mankind insists on tieing everything to time(time is money you know) we get to reset our clocks periodically, watch as we get a leap day thrown in, and even occasionally a leap second.

Praz_Reed, this is also compensated, by cancelling three leap days every 400 years.
I am not a number.
Froglet, you're answer is along the right lines but wrong. Look at the answer from Player #18472721 for the right one.

Praz_Reed, this is why the century isn't a leap year unless it's a millennium - it gets rid of the extra minutes.

I just made this wierd analysis. I might be wrong though
It takes the earth 365 days, 5 hours, 48 mins and 46 seconds to completely circle the sun while the Gregorian calender is only 365 days. To balance this, we added a day to the end of each leap year so we don't lose time. So technically speaking, we have added 6 hours to each Gregorian calendar year which sums up to the extra day we see as February 29 in each leap year.
Now here's my headache, in adding exactly 6 hours to each year we have also added an excess of 11 mins and 14 seconds (minus 5h,48m,46s from 6h). If you times this by 4, it gives us 44 mins, 56 secs of excess time each leap year. So in 32.05 leap years (128.20 years), we would have successfully added an excess of 24 hours.
Why is no one talking about this? Or maybe we are too concerned with other important things in life 😁😅

Praz_Reed, do a little research into it's all been figured out you don't have a leap year depends on this century

Technically it’s a slight over correction so every one hundred years we don’t have a leap day, but that’s also an over correction so every four hundred years we have a leap year after all!

I can admit,things like this are tricky but I mean if you think about it and keep it in your mind it will always be 4 years

Ethiopia,Horn Africa a country have 13 months ayear and the last month of the year have commonly 5 days and the rest 12 have 30 days a month. Lap year in ethiopia has 4 year and in this day the last Month counts with 6 day of month. And the so called calendar is Ethiopian Calendar.

Leap years are the same year as presidential elections. That's how I remember it.

Little Saint, They are not divisible by 4 , and if they are Leap Years, then instead of losing some to compensate for the extra hours in the planetary orbit, you are suggesting that they are adding some .
Sounds off

I know someone in my class that's birthday is on a leap year. When it's not leap year,He just celebrates it on February 28. If he didn't have a birthday on the February 28, he should be 7 right now!
