About Leap Day
Leap Day, February 29, is added to the calendar almost every four years to keep it in line with Earth's orbit. Years divisible by 100 skip it unless they are also divisible by 400, so 2000 had one but 2100 will not.
Leap Day is only in leap years, almost every four years. In 2028 it lands on a Tuesday, in week 9 of the year.

Counting from today, Sunday, October 4, 2026, there are 513 days until Leap Day 2028. That works out to 73 weeks and 2 days, or about 16 months and 25 days.
If you only count working days, there are 367 business days (Monday to Friday) left, with 73 weekends in between. Kids counting down can think of it as 513 sleeps, and in hours that is about 12,312.
