About Leap Year:
- Leap years occur every four years to keep our calendar in alignment with the Earth’s revolutions around the Sun. A leap year has 366 days instead of the usual 365, with an extra day added to the month of February, making it 29 days long instead of 28.
- In the Gregorian calendar system, which is the most widely used calendar system today, a year is considered a leap year if it is divisible by 4. However, there is an exception to this rule: years that are divisible by 100 are not leap years, unless they are also divisible by 400.
- Since 2024 is divisible by 4 but not by 100, it is a leap year. Therefore, February 2024 will have 29 days instead of the usual 28.
- 5 million people in the world are leap-year babies.
- There will be 8 years between leap years 2096 and 2104
- Women often choose this day to propose marriage to me
