What are Leap and Year

Definition of Leap

A leap year is a calendar year that contains an additional day added to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical year or seasonal year. Traditionally, February has 28 days, but in a leap year, it has 29 days to account for the Earth's approximately 365.24 days long orbit around the Sun.

Definition of Year

A year is a unit of time, used with calendars, which is approximately as long as a natural period related to the motion of the Earth around the Sun. It signifies the time taken for the Earth to complete one full orbit around the Sun, which is about 365 days in a common year or 366 days in a leap year.
