The next leap year is 2012.
And by virtue of it a leap year, it will have 1 extra day. So instead of the having the usual 365 days in a year, the year 2012 will have 366 days. The extra day in a leap year is always added to the month of February and thus the year 2012 will have a 29th-Feb-2011.
So in the next year 2012, all those people who were born on the 29th Feb, will get to celebrate their birthdays on their actual birthdate, instead of having to celebrate it on the 28th Feb or the 1st March as they have to do in non-leap years.
Leap years generally come once in every 4 years, with some exceptions to it. 2008 was the last leap year,
2012 is the next one, and 2016 will be the next leap year after that.
