Leap Year
Generally, we consider 365 days in an ordinary year but the Earth takes
1
about 365 days, i.e., 365 days and 6 hours to go around the sun. The
4
remaining time is generally added every fourth year as an extra day in
the month of February. Thus, the year has 366 days and is called a leap
year.
Which year is a leap year?
The year which is exactly divisible by 4 is called a leap year. But in case
of century, it should be divisible by 400. Thus, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008,
2400, etc., are leap years.
