February doesn't normally have 29 days. In three out of four years, February has 28 days. Because of the earth's rotation, the actual year is 365.4 days long. Therefore, the powers that be decided to make that extra day come in February because February is the shortest month and it would be longer in the leap year.

February has 29 days every four years because of the revolution of the earth. based on the revolution earth actually does not take 365 days to revolve around the sun it takes 365 and a quarter of days to revolve around the sun and because ever 4 quarter makes a day then every four years a day is added to the February as it has only 28 days and the year that 1 day is added to february is known as a leap year
