A leap year has a total of 366 days instead of the usual 365 as a result of adding an extra day (February 29) to the Gregorian Calendar which is the calendar currently used by most modern societies. This calendar was introduced in 1582, to replace the flawed Julian Calendar.
The 3 conditions for a given year be a leap year are:
The year being divisible by 4 is a necessary condition, but not sufficient for a year to be leap, but for this century, we may consider sufficient until the year 2098. For this century, it is not necessary to check the other conditions. So, we can confidently say that: "until 2096, if we want to know if a given year is leap or not, we just need to check if that year is or is not divisible by 4. So, any year divisible by four is a leap year! (for this century).
The leap year system makes the calendar coincide with the cycle of the seasons.
The next leap years until 2098 will be:
2020, 2024, 2028, 2032, 2036, 2040, 2044, 2048, 2052, 2056, 2060, 2064, 2068, 2072, 2076, 2080, 2084, 2088, 2092 and 2096
