In the Gregorian calendar, a year having 366 days instead of the usual 365, with the extra day added to compensate for the fact that the Earth rotates approximately 365.25 times for each revolution it makes around the Sun
In the Jewish calendar or other lunisolar calendars, a year having 13 months instead of 12, with the extra month added because 19 solar years is approximately 19*12+7 lunar months
A leap year (or intercalary year) is a year containing one or more extra days (or, in case of lunisolar calendars, an extra month) in order to keep the calendar year synchronised with the astronomical or seasonal year. For example, February would have 29 days in a leap year instead of the usual 28. Seasons and astronomical events do not repeat at an exact number of full days, so a calendar which had the same number of days in each year would over time drift with respect to the event it was supposed to track. By occasionally inserting (or intercalating) an additional day or month into the year, the drift can be corrected. A year which is not a leap year is called a common year. In fact, the Earth takes slightly under 365 1/4 days to revolve around the Sun
A calendar year containing 366 days (see Gregorian calendar)
A calendar year with 366 days, inserted approximately every 4 years to make the average length of the calendar year as nearly equal as possible to the tropical year
A leap year is a year which has 366 days. The extra day is the 29th February. There is a leap year every four years. a year, which happens every fourth year, when February has 29 days instead of 28 (Perhaps because a date in such a year "jumps" one day ahead of the day on which it would otherwise have fallen)
A year containing 366 days rather than 365 There are three factors used to determine leap years Leap Years occur every four years, unless the year is divisible by 100 An exception is made for centesimal years in which the year is divisible by 400 As a result, the Year 2000 is a leap year, since it is divisible by 400
A year of 366 days, whereas a common year has 365, so called because festivals after 29 February "leap" forward by one day when compared with a normal day The addition of leap years to the calendar allows the synchronisation of the calendar year with the natural year
– any year which includes Feb 29; is determined by three factors: leap years occur every four years, unless the year is evenly divisible by 100, UNLESS the year is evenly divisible by 400
Year 2000 is a leap year, and some computers or other equipments may not accurately recognize it as such A given year is a leap year when one of two rules apply: If the year is evenly divisible by 4, but is not evenly divisible by 100, it is a leap year Thus 1896 was a leap year, but 1900 was not Most people know this, and most computers and equipment handle this first rule correctly However, there is a second rule: If the year is evenly divisible by 400, it is a leap year Therefore, year 2000 is a leap year Some people - and computer programs or equipment - may not recognize this

In the Gregorian calendar, a leap year is any year which number can be divided by 4 without a remainder, and years ending in hundrets are no leap years unless they are divisible by 400 But the Eastern Orthodox churches compute leap years within the Gregorian calendar by using another rule; and that, a leap year is any year which number can be divided by 4 without a remainder, and years ending in hundrets are leap years, if a remainder of 2 or 6 occurs when such a year is divided by 9
A year that has 366 days instead of the standard 365 The extra day occurs on February 29th A leap year occurs whenever the year is: Evenly divisible by 400 Or
A year that contains 366 days instead of the normal 365 Leap years are used to keep the Gregorian calendar in sync with the solar year
Bissextile; a year containing 366 days; every fourth year which leaps over a day more than a common year, giving to February twenty-nine days
A calendar year containing 366 days According to the present Gregorian calendar, all years with the date-number divisible by 4 are leap years, except century years The latter are leap years when the date-number is divisible by 400
In the Gregorian calendar, a leap year is any year which number can be divided by 4 without a remainder, and years ending in hundreds are no leap years unless they are divisible by 400 But the Eastern Orthodox churches compute leap years within the Gregorian calendar by using another rule; and that, a leap year is any year which number can be divided by 4 without a remainder, and years ending in hundreds are leap years, if a remainder of 2 or 6 occurs when such a year is divided by 9
