#### **Leap Year Rules:**
6
-
A year is a leap year if:
7
-
1️⃣ **Divisible by 4** → ✅ Possible leap year.
8
-
2️⃣ **Divisible by 100** → ❌ Not a leap year (exception below).
9
-
3️⃣ **Divisible by 400** → ✅ Leap year.

-
#### **Why These Rules?**
12
-
- Earth takes **365.2425 days** to orbit the Sun.
13
-
- Adding **1 day every 4 years** corrects the 0.2425-day drift.
14
-
- Skipping leap years every **100 years** prevents overcorrection.
15
-
- Keeping leap years every **400 years** prevents undercorrection.

#### **Examples:**

-
✅ **Leap Years** → 1600, 2000, 2024
19
-
❌ **Not Leap Years** → 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100
