About leap year

In the Gregorian calendar (Gregorian calendar), a year with leap days is called leap year, which is generally 365 days and 366 days. Because the earth's cycle around the sun is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds (365,438+09 days), which is the tropic year, the Gregorian calendar sets a year as 365 days. The remaining time is about one day in four years, plus February, so the normal year is 365 days, February is 28 days, leap year is 366 days, and February is 29 days.

So every 400 years, there are 97 leap years, with one day added at the end of February and 366 days in leap years.

Calculation method of leap year: the number of years in the calendar year can be divisible by four, which is a leap year; Divided by 100 but not divided by 400 is an average year; Leap years can be divisible by 100 or 400. For example, 2000 is a leap year, and 1900 is not.

The latest leap years are 2004 and 2008.

The above is a leap year calculated according to the Gregorian calendar. Let's talk about a leap year according to the lunar calendar:

In the China lunar calendar, a year with a leap month is called a leap year. The general year is 12 months, 354 or 355 days, and the leap year is 13 months, 383 or 384 days. As a kind of lunar calendar, the number of days in each month depends on the monthly loss, and the time of one year is based on 12 months. In order to close the earth's cycle around the sun, that is, the tropic year, one month is added every two to four years, and the added month is a leap month, so the leap year of the lunar calendar is 13 months.

There is no thirteenth month in the lunar calendar. According to the calendar rules, leap months are repeated from February to the same month after 10, and the repeated months are leap months. For example, the leap month after April is called leap April.

Calculation of leap month in lunar leap year, three-year leap, five-year leap, 19 leap; The lunar calendar basically takes 19 as a cycle, corresponding to the same time in the Gregorian calendar. For example, in the Gregorian calendar, May 27th, 2006, 5438+0, May 27th 1982 and May 27th 1963 are the fifth day of leap April.

The month of the leap month is inferred according to the laws of the lunar calendar, mainly according to the coincidence with the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar;

The number of leap months in the lunar calendar is 29 or 30 days, just like normal months.

The so-called "leap" in the lunar calendar is just called leap year and leap month, and there are also leap years in the solar calendar.
