Understanding Leap Years
A leap year is a year with 366 days instead of the usual 365. The extra day, February 29, is added to keep our calendar in alignment with Earth's orbit around the Sun.
Earth takes approximately 365.2422 days to complete one orbit. Without leap years, our calendar would drift by about 24 days every 100 years!
