Reply to comment by lambchopafterhours in ELI5 What is a leap year and why does it occur? by Own_Grapefruit8750
You skip every century (cause all century years like 1700, 1800 are also leap years), except for the multiples of 400. So in 2000 (which is a multiple of 400) we didn’t skip the leap year, we had it as expected. In 2100, there will be no Feb 29th, because it’ll skip.
