A '''leap year''' (or '''intercalaryඅධික yearඅවුරුද්ද''') isයනු a year containing one or more extra days (or, in the case of [[lunisolar calendar]]s, an extra month) in order to keep the [[calendar year]] synchronised with the [[astronomical year|astronomical]] or [[seasonal year]]. For example, in the [[Gregorian calendar]], February in a leap year has 29 days instead of the usual 28 so the year lasts 366 days instead of the usual 365. Because seasons and astronomical events do not repeat in a [[whole number]] of days, a calendar that had the same number of days in each year would, over time, drift with respect to the event it was supposed to track. By occasionally inserting (or ''[[intercalation|intercalating]]'') an additional day or month into the year, the drift can be corrected. A year that is ''not'' a leap year is called a ''[[common year]]''.
 
==ග්‍රෙගරි දින දසුන==
In the [[Gregorianග්‍රෙගරි දින calendarදසුන]], the current standard calendar in most of the world, most years whose division by 4 equals an [[integer]] are leap years. In each leap year, the month of February has 29 days instead of 28. Adding an extra day to the calendar every four years compensates for the fact that a period of 365 days is shorter than a [[solar year]] by almost 6 hours.
 
However, some exceptions to this rule are required since the duration of a solar year is slightly ''less'' than 365.25 days. Years that are evenly divisible by 100 are ''not'' leap years, unless they are also evenly divisible by 400, in which case they ''are'' leap years.<ref name="rog">[http://www.nmm.ac.uk/server/show/conWebDoc.349 Royal Observatory, Greenwich: Leap years]</ref><ref name="usno"> [http://aa.usno.navy.mil/faq/docs/leap_years.php USNO (U.S. Naval Observatory): Leap Years]</ref> For example, 1600 and 2000 were leap years, but 1700, 1800 and 1900 were not. Similarly, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2500, 2600, 2700, 2900, and 3000 will not be leap years, but 2400 and 2800 will be. By this rule, the average number of days per year will be 365 + 1/4 − 1/100 + 1/400 = 365.2425, which is 365 days, 5 hours, 49 minutes, and 12 seconds. The Gregorian calendar was designed to keep the [[vernal equinox]] on or close to March 21, so that the date of [[Easter]] (celebrated on the Sunday after the 14th day of the Moon—i.e. a [[full moon]]—that falls on or after March 21) remains correct with respect to the vernal equinox.<ref>E.G. Richards, ''Mapping time: The calendar and its history'', p. 240, ISBN 0-19-282065-7</ref> The vernal equinox year is about 365.242374 days long (and increasing).
