Fun Fact

A leap year occurs approximately once every four years, but not always. Years divisible by 100 are not leap years unless they are also divisible by 400. This adjustment keeps our calendar aligned with the Earth's orbit around the Sun.

Historical Context

The modern concept of leap years was introduced in the Gregorian calendar in 1582 to correct inaccuracies in the older Julian calendar. Without leap years, seasons would slowly drift over centuries. The rules used today ensure long-term stability of the global calendar system.
