The quarter days are added together and every 4 years a day is added to a year, giving us the 29th of February, which is the leap day in the leap year. This keeps the calendars in synch with our orbit of the Sun.
Not Exactly, Only Febuary has a day added
By having a leap year every four years.
No. There are 366 days in a leap year. On average that means a year is 365 days and 6 hours. 6 hours is a quarter of a day, so every fourth year a day is added to make up that amount.No. There are 366 days in a leap year.

Each year is shortened by an hour which is giving back every 4 years
Leap years are added to the calendar to synchronize the Earth's orbit around the sun with the calendar year. This is because it actually takes the Earth approximately 365.25 days to complete its orbit, so an extra day is added every four years to balance the calendar.
Earth takes about 365.25 days to orbit the Sun. Every four years, the 4 quarters are added together to give another day and that is added to one year, giving the leap year.
365 and 1/4 days but the quarter is not counted in the year until for years later (leap year) and that is because by then there is four lots of quarter days which then form one whole day which is then added on in a leap year to make 366 days.
A leap year has 366 days. An actual year is about 365 and 1/4 days. Every 4 years, and extra day is added to keep the calendar is synch with the actual movement of the earth,
The first leap second was added on June 30, 1972. Leap seconds are added to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) to account for the slowing of the Earth's rotation.
No, you do not lose a day every year. Each year consists of 365 days, with an additional day added to leap years, so you don't actually lose any days over time.
The extra one-quarter day in a year is taken into consideration through leap years, where an extra day is added to February to keep the calendar in sync with the Earth's orbit around the sun. This adjustment prevents the calendar from drifting away from the actual solar year over time.
