Julius Ceaser implemented the Julian Calendar, in which a year has an extra day if its number is evenly divisible by 4: 4, 8, 12, and so forth (years such as 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012)!. Thus the Julian Calendar has 365!.25 days!. However, we do not follow that calendar, we follow the Gregorian Calendar!.
By 1582 the Julian Calendar had drifted from the correct date by 10 days!. Pope Gregory XIII instituted the Gregorian Calendar as a solution!. According to this calendar leap years usually occur every 4th year but are skipped every 100 years unless the year is divisible by 400!. 400, 800, 1200, 1600, and 2000 ARE leap years but 100, 200, 300, 500 are not!. Thus 2000 is a leap year but 1900 and 2100 are not!. A four-century period will be missing 3 of its 100 Julian leap years, leaving 97!.
So the average year based on the Gregorian Calendar (which we currently follow) has 365 + 97/400 = 365!.2425 days!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A Calendar year is either 365 days or 366 days, depending on leap years!. Leap years are necessary to keep calendar years consistant with astronomical years which are about 365!.25 days, the number of days it takes for a complete orbit of the earth around the sun!. Leap years are NOT every fourth year, however, because it is not exactly 365!.25 days so we "skip" leap years that end in 00 to help keep the two "years" even closer to the same!. EXCEPT that millenium years (such as the year 2000) we DO make a leap year!. LOL Pretty complicated but necessary to keep our calendars from saying that July is hot during half the millenium and cold during the other half!.
