   Leap year. A leap year (also known as an intercalary year or bissextile year) is a calendar year that contains an additional day (or, in the case of a lunisolar calendar, a month) compared to a common year. The 366th day (or 13th month) is added to keep the calendar year synchronised with the astronomical year or seasonal year. [1]

   • Leap years are all because of the sun.
   • Every 100 years, we skip a leap year. (Almost.) OK, so we’ve said it takes 365 ¼ days for the earth to rotate around the sun but, in actual fact, it takes 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds.
   • It’s called a “leap” year because it’s all about leaping ahead. We use the phrase leap year because each date on the calendar jumps ahead two days of the week instead of one.
   • Non leap years have a name too. A year that is not a leap year is called a common year. Because it’s, well, more common.
