A leap year comes once in every four years. That means they is an extra one day in the calendar months and that happens in february moving from 28th days to 29th in the calendar to keep the calendar year synchronized with the celestial year.
However I have born to hear that a year that is divisible by 100 is not a leap year, unless it is also divisible by 400. Example, the year 2024 is a leap year because it is divisible by 400, but the year 2023 was not a leap year because it is divisible by 100 but not of 400.
I will like to invite @bossj23 @jozzie90 and @toflex to join this contest also.

Thanks for your time on my post
The leap year thing is a bit complicated to understand, because it is known that it happens every 4 years and so on. And what I know is that for the 4 years in each 1 year there are 6 hours left over (6 x 4= 24) so what they do is add those hours that become a day the following year so there is no gap in the calendar.
