About Next Leap Day
A leap year adds an extra day — 29 February — to keep the calendar year synchronised with the astronomical year. The Earth takes approximately 365.2422 days to orbit the Sun, so without a periodic correction, the calendar would drift by about 24 days per century. Leap years occur in years divisible by 4, except century years not divisible by 400.
The next Next Leap Day is on 29 February 2028 — a Tuesday — which is 713 days, approximately 102 weeks or 23.5 months away.
