a leap year/an intercalary year


Explanation:
A leap intercalary year is a year containing one extra day (or, in the case of lunisolar calendars, a month) in order to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical or seasonal year.

السنة الكبيسة هي سنة تحتوى على يوم أو شهر اضافي للمحافظة على سنة التقويم متزامنة مع السنة الفلكية. لا تتكرر الفصول والأحداث الفلكية ضمن عدد محدد من الايام بعكس سنة التقويم ولذك لا بد من إضافة يوم أو شهر إلى السنة كل فترة للابقاء على التزامن.
