Why is It Called Leap Year?

Answer

A leap year is called that way because it adds an extra day to the calendar every four years to make up for the fourth of a day that is not included in the previous three years. A solar year lasts 365.25 days, which means that every four years a day must be added to keep it at the correct date. So a leap year in effect jumps forward one day.
