Is 2024 a Leap Year?
The Lowdown on Leap Years
When was the last leap year?
The last leap year was 2020. Leap years occur every four years, and they have an extra day—February 29—to keep our calendar in sync with the Earth's orbit around the sun.
Is 2024 a leap year?
Yes, 2024 is a leap year. So, mark your calendars for an extra day of fun on February 29, 2024!
Why do we have leap years?
We have leap years to keep our calendar in sync with the Earth's orbit around the sun. It takes the Earth about 365.25 days to orbit the sun. So, every four years, we add an extra day to the calendar to make up for the extra quarter day.
