A leap year, an intriguing phenomenon in our Gregorian calendar, occurs every four years. It is a year that contains an additional day, February 29th, making it 366 days instead of the standard 365. The rule dictates that a leap year takes place every four years, except for years divisible by 100, unless those divisible by 400.
Here is a convenient list of leap years to copy and paste: 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, and so on. This pattern continues into the foreseeable future. Leap years help synchronize our calendar with Earth’s orbit, ensuring seasons align accurately with our timetable.
