leap day

Språk: English

1. Leap day refers to the extra day added to February every fourth year, known as a leap year, to adjust the calendar in relation to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. This is necessary because the Earth's orbit around the Sun takes approximately 365.24 days, so without this extra day, the calendar would eventually become desynchronized with the seasons.
