When Is The Next Leap Year

We all know that the leap year comes every 4th year. We also know that a leap year means that where will be a February 29th. This creates the unique situation whereby someone born on February 29th will only have a birthday every 4 years. Often these people celebrate their sudo birthday on February 28th for those other 3 years.

The next leap year will be in 2012. The leap year will then occur successively every 4 years so it will follow in 2016, 2020, 2024, and so forth. However, as we can see from the leap years listed below - there are years in which we do not have a leap year. This is as a result of the Gregorian calendar which has us skip a leap year every 100 years to make up for the fact that 11 minutes had to be shaved off the 365.25 year.
