Leap year happens because the Earth doesn't take exactly 365 days to orbit the sun, but instead very close to 365.25 days.Every four years, an extra day is inserted to keep the seasons in position.If we didn't, the seasons would creep backwards through the year.That adjustment is also not perfect, so century years not divisible by 400 are not leap years.Leap years were first instituted by Julius Caesar in 45 BCE, and the astronomer Sosigenes of Alexandria helped him invent it.
