How Many Days are in a Leap Year

Content Curator

A leap year has 366 days. A leap year is a year that has an extra day added to it, specifically February 29th. This additional day is added to align the calendar year with the solar year, or the length of time it takes the Earth to complete its orbit around the sun, which is approximately 365.25 days.

Leap years occur every 4 years to help correct the discrepancy between the calendar year and the solar year. The rule for determining leap years is that if a year is evenly divisible by 4, it is a leap year, unless the year is also divisible by 100, in which case it is not a leap year, unless the year is also divisible by 400, in which case it is a leap year.

Leap Year

Leap Year

To determine if a year is a leap year, follow these steps:

If the year is evenly divisible by 4, go to step 2. Otherwise, go to step 5.
If the year is evenly divisible by 100, go to step 3. Otherwise, go to step 4.
If the year is evenly divisible by 400, go to step 4. Otherwise, go to step 5.
The year is a leap year (it has 366 days).
The year is not a leap year (it has 365 days).
