What is a leap year?
A leap year is 366 days long and happens so that the calendar year matches the solar year, which is how long it takes the Earth to make a trip around the Sun. A leap year happens every four years and adds an extra day in February, giving us February 29.
The next time we will have a leap year after 2024 is in the year 2028.
