The leap month in 2020 is April.

The year of leap April is:

200 1 (Xin sinian) and 20 12 (non-Chen nian)

2020 (the year of Gengzi) and 2058 (the year of Wuyin)

2069 (the year of Xin Chou) and 2077 (Ding Younian)

2088 (the year of Wushen) and 2096 (the year of Chen Bing)

In the lunar calendar, because the total number of days in a normal year 12 months is less than that in the solar calendar 1 1 day, the calendar stipulates that a leap month must be added every two or three years to make up for the difference of about one month. And because this difference is not a regular number, it is not very regular when leap months need to be added. However, with the increase of years, people summed up the law of "seven leap months in nineteen years", that is to say, there should be roughly seven leap months in the China lunar calendar in nineteen years. Finally, it is appropriate to add leap month after which month, which depends on the gap between which month and the 24 solar terms, because the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar are basically the same as the solar calendar date. But generally speaking, there is no leap month after the twelfth lunar month and the first lunar month. For example, in 2020, the lunar calendar in China will leap into April.

Calculation method of leap April:

Lunar leap year leap month calculation, three-year leap, five-year leap, 19 leap; The lunar calendar basically takes 19 as a cycle, corresponding to the same time in the Gregorian calendar. For example, in the Gregorian calendar, May 27th, 200 1, May 27th 1982 and May 27th 1963 are the fifth day of leap April.

The month of the leap month is inferred according to the laws of the lunar calendar, mainly according to the coincidence degree with the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar;

The number of leap months in the lunar calendar is the same as that in normal months, both of which are 29 or 30 days.

The so-called "leap" in the lunar calendar is only called leap year and leap month, and there are also leap years in the Gregorian calendar.
