Happy Leap Day! Today is February 29th, a leap day, that comes around once every 4 years.
You may be wondering why we have leap years?
Leap years occur because of a “mismatch between the calendar year and Earth’s orbit,” according to NASA. While we think that one year only last 365 days, in reality it actually takes a little longer for the Earth to orbit the sun. It approximately takes 365 days and 6 hours. So, in order to account for the extra quarter of a day each year, an extra day (24 hours— or four times six hours —) is added to the calendar every 4 years.
