The Earth takes 365 days to rotate around the sun right? Wrong. It actually takes 365 days, and 1/4th of a day. So every four years, you become a day off. As time goes on, the calendar gets more, and more out of whack. Scientists first noticed this when they were celebrating the New Year in April, and they thought, 'that's not right.' They came up with a solution: every four years, add an extra day and 'leap forward' to get back with the calendar. Since February only has 28 days normally, they decided this month would be best to add that day. Happy Leap Year!
