Leap year check
Yes — 2400 is a leap year.
2400 is divisible by 400, so it overrides the "century is not a leap year" exception and 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. 2400 is a century year, but because it is also divisible by 400 (2400 ÷ 400 = 6), the century exception is overridden and 2400 is a leap year. These are the rarest leap years — only one century in four qualifies.
Because 2400 is a leap year, it has a February 29, and that date falls on a Tuesday. Anyone born on this date is a "leapling" whose true calendar birthday only comes around every four years. Every date from March 1 2400 onward sits one weekday later than it would in a common year, a quiet side effect of the extra day.
2400 runs 366 days, or 52 full weeks plus 2 days. The leap year before 2400 was 2396 and the next one is 2404, keeping the familiar four-year rhythm. To do date math across 2400 — counting days to a deadline, an age, or an anniversary that crosses the leap day — use the days-between calculator, which handles leap days automatically.
