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.

A table for the Gregorian calendar expresses its 400-year grand cycle: 303 common years and 97 leap years total to 146,097 days, or exactly 20,871 weeks. This cycle breaks down into one 100-year period with 25 leap years, making 36,525 days, or one day less than 5,218 full weeks; and three 100-year periods with 24 leap years each, making 36,524 ...

According to Air and Space, we skip a leap year when the year it would normally fall on is divisible by 100 but not divisible by 400. The last time leap year was skipped was in the year 2000 and ...
In leap years, a one-week month called Pax would be inserted after Columbus. To get the same mean year as the Gregorian Calendar this leap week is added to 71 of the 400 years in the cycle. The years with leap week are years whose last two digits are a number that is divisible by six (including 00) or 99: however, if a year number ending in 00 ...
A leap year is a year in which an extra day, Feb. 29, is added to the calendar. It's called an intercalary day. It occurs about every four years, but there are exceptions (we'll get to that later).
