Only every fourth even-hundred year is a leap year. Thus 1900 wasn’t a leap year, 2000 was, 2100, 2200, and 2300 won’t be, and 2400 will be.

Because the earth’s rotational period is not exactly .250000 “off each year.
That .242 bit requires we “subtract” (well, not add a Leap Day) every 1000 years.
