Leap Year
Leap year is a year containing one additional day added to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical or seasonal year. Each leap year has 366 days rather then 365 days by adding a additional day on February 29 not the 28. A year that is not a leap year is called a common year. The name "leap year" comes from the fact that while a fixed date in the Gregorian calendar normally advances one day of the week from one year to the next, the day of the week in a leap year will advance two days due to the extra day added at the end of February.
