Leap Years comes every fourth year. February, which is usually 28 days, consists of 29 days in a leap year. When this happens, that year is called Leap Year and this day is called Leap Day. You must be wondering how this happens and why a day is added in February itself. It takes 365 days and 6 hours for the Earth to make a full orbit of the Sun. So these 6 hours become 24 hours in four years, making it 1 leap day. If we do not add this extra day in every fourth year, then every year 6 hours will be removed from the calendar and then every 100 years, only 24 days will disappear from the calendar. That is why one day is added in February every fourth year. Test yourself how much you know about Leap Year trivia quiz.
