Why 2048 is a leap year
A year is a leap year in the Gregorian calendar when it is divisible by 4, with one exception and one exception to that exception: a year divisible by 100 is not a leap year unless it is also divisible by 400. 2048 is divisible by 4 (2048 ÷ 4 = 512) and is not a century year, so it clears the rule cleanly and gets a February 29.
February 29, 2048
Because 2048 is a leap year, it has a February 29, and that date falls on a Saturday. Anyone born on this date is a "leapling" whose true calendar birthday only comes around every four years. Every date from March 1 2048 onward sits one weekday later than it would in a common year, a quiet side effect of the extra day.
