FAQ About Leap Year Checker

What is a leap year?

A leap year is a year with 366 days instead of 365. The extra day (February 29) keeps our calendar aligned with Earth's orbit.

Why are century years special?

Century years (like 1900) are NOT leap years unless divisible by 400 (like 2000). This corrects for over-correction in the 4-year rule.

When is the next leap year?

2024, 2028, 2032, etc. (every 4 years, with century year exceptions).
