Understanding Leap Years
What is a Leap Year?
A leap year occurs every 4 years to keep our calendar aligned with Earth's orbit around the sun. Leap years have 366 days instead of 365, with an extra day added to February (February 29th).
Leap Year Rules:
- • Years divisible by 4 are leap years
- • Exception: Years divisible by 100 are NOT leap years
- • Exception to exception: Years divisible by 400 ARE leap years
Examples:
✓ 2024 is a leap year (divisible by 4)
✗ 1900 was not a leap year (divisible by 100, not 400)
✓ 2000 was a leap year (divisible by 400)

Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate are age calculators?
Our age calculator is 100% accurate as it uses precise date arithmetic, accounting for leap years, different month lengths, and exact time differences down to the second.
Why do some age calculators give different results?
Differences usually occur when calculators don't properly account for leap years, use different time zones, or round calculations differently. Our calculator uses precise arithmetic for accurate results.
Can I calculate age in different calendars?
Our standard calculator uses the Gregorian calendar. For other calendar systems (Lunar, Hebrew, Islamic), specialized calculators are needed due to different year lengths and structures.
What if I don't know my exact birth time?
For most purposes, the birth date is sufficient. Birth time only matters for extremely precise calculations (hours/minutes/seconds) or astrological purposes.
