Explanation:
The simple (and only) explanation for why we have leap days is that it takes 365.2422 days for our planet to complete one revolution around the sun. That means each 365-day year ends a quarter day's worth short of the complete orbit

Leap year were created to keep the Gregorian calendar in line with the astronomical calendar in line with the astronomical and seasonal calendars. The astronomical and seasonal calendars aren't exactly 365 days.
- Earth's complete orbit around the sun actually takes 365.256 days. Every four years, we add an extra day to make up for that extra time.
