February Has got 28 days

Why February Has got 28 days??

Sometimes a question arises in our mind that why only February has 28 days only and 29 days in the leap year??

But we haven't tried to search out for the reason. So, we will tell you that why ferbruary has got 28 days and 29 days in the leap year. Basically there are 2 reasons for it.

• Scientifically the earth completes its orbital year in 365.2425 days. So to divide it into months, we have got 12 months but in february it has got 28 days that can complete 365 days and after the completion of 4 years, 1 day is added to after 4 years gap i.e. in the leap year february has 29 days.

• Religiously actually our modern calendar is quite similar to the Romans calendar. Actually some believe that Augustus Caesar's birthday fell in the month of August (which only had 30 days back then) while Julius Caesar was born in July and his birth month had 31 days. So Caesar took one day from the month of February and added it on to August. That left February with only 28 days, except for leap year.
