A leap year (also known as an intercalary year or bissextile year) is a calendar year that contains an additional day (or, in the case of a lunisolar calendar, a month) compared to a common year. The 366th day (or 13th month) is added to keep the calendar year synchronised with the astronomical year or seasonal year . [ 1 ]
The leap year problem (also known as the leap year bug or the leap day bug) is a problem for both digital (computer-related) and non-digital documentation and data storage situations which results from errors in the calculation of which years are leap years, or from manipulating dates without regard to the difference between leap years and common years.
It is the same as if 4 mod year = 0 and 100 mod year ≠ 0, then not a leap year, unless 400 mod year = 0, then it is a leap year. Sanity check {{is leap year|2000}} → 1: 2000 AD is effectively a leap year (in both the Julian and Gregorian calendars) .
Blocks that spell out Leap Year. If it seems like 2023 just flew by, we are at least in for a longer year in 2024. ... If you love math, all of this calculation is going to be fascinating. If not ...
Here's the confusing part: According to the NIST, century leap years are only leap years if they can be evenly divided by 400. So, for example, 1700, 1800 and 1900 weren't leap years. And 2100?
Caesar created a new Julian calendar for Rome that measured a year as 365.25 days long, as the original Roman year was 10 days shorter than a modern year. The seasons were thrown off as a result ...

That calculation produced too many leap years because Earth’s trip around the sun is 365.242 days. The Julian calendar ended up being 11 minutes and 14 seconds longer than the tropical year ...
