        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.
