Leap day is one extra day we get in February. This lovely leap day balances our calendars with Earth's orbit.
The concept of adding an extra day to the calendar every four years traces back to the ancient Romans.
In some cultures, the Leap Year is celebrated as 'Bachelor's Day' or 'Sadie Hawkins Day'. Irish tradition also suggests women to propose to men.
Individuals born on February 29th, known as 'leaplings' or 'leapers,' celebrate their birthdays only once every four years.
It takes Earth 365.242190 days to orbit the sun while a calendar year has 365 days. This extra minutes form February 29!
As we enjoy this extra day, let us make some elaborate plans and use the extra time at hands wisely!
