How to know if it is a Leap Year:
Try it here: Why?Because the Earth rotates about 365.242375 times a year ... ... but a normal year is 365 days, ... ... so something has to be done to "catch up" the extra 0.242375 days a year. So every 4th year we add an extra day (the 29th of February), which makes 365.25 days a year. This is fairly close, but is wrong by about 1 day every 100 years. So every 100 years we don't have a leap year, and that gets us 365.24 days per year (1 day less in 100 year = -0.01 days per year). Closer, but still not accurate enough! So another rule says that every 400 years is a leap year again. This gets us 365.2425 days per year (1 day regained every 400 years = 0.0025 days per year), which is close enough to 365.242375 not to matter much. So, Which Are and Which Aren't?So 2000 and 2400 are leap years but 1800, 1900, 2100, 2200 and 2300 are not. Apart from that, every year divisible by 4 (2012, 2016, 2020, 2024, etc.) is a leap year. How far away each year is from the average Example: look just before 2100, the worst year is 1.2 days ahead, but because 2100 is not a leap year they all get adjusted back by 1 day. So this keeps us pretty close, and any other adjustments can be done way in the future (when the Earth may be rotating a little slower, anyway!) Only since 1582 (Gregorian Calendar)These leap year rules were introduced in 1582 by the Gregorian Calendar, named after Pope Gregory XIII. (It replaced the old Julian Calendar by Julius Caesar that only has one rule of a leap year every 4th year, and is now about 13 days behind our current date.) Amb 2021-08-28 11:47:48 The best way to see whether a year is leap year or not is to look at the last 2 digits of an year. That's the divisibility test of 4. ... Null 2021-08-28 11:47:48 For anyone who is curious as to why there isn't a leap year on the year 2100 or 2200, 2300, 2500, there's an explanation. The rules for when a leap year happens actually has 2 extra conditions that aren't often mentioned because they are almost never used. The first rule most of us know is that a leap year occurs every 4 years, which adds an extra day to the February calendar.However, this rule isn't applied to any year that's divisible by 100. For example, 2100 will not be a leap year because 2100 is equally divisible over 100.The second condition is that the previous condition is overruled if the year is also divisible by 400. Which is why the year 2400 will still be a leap year, even if it's divisible by 100, because of the fact that it's divisible by 400. I believe the reasoning for this is because a year isn't actually exactly 365.25 days, it's more like 365.24255 days, so they need to compensate for the 42 minutes that are gained every leap year somehow. Again, I'm no expert or mathematician, but I'm sure someone more qualified can give an explanation as to why. ... . 2021-08-28 11:47:48 shouldnt 2100 be a leap year, it is every 4 years and 2096 is one so why does it say 2100 isnt one?? ...
