Why leap year is not in march?

Because the extra day added in a leap year - is adddeed to the end of February - making 29 days instead of the usual 28. The months used to be all the same length (30 days) with extra 'inter-calary' days at the end of the year to balance the year. The Romans 'stole' days from other months to honour their Gods and Emperors. Hence January, March, May, July, August, October and December all have 31 days. Now, if February still had 30 days that would make the year 367 days - so - the February (which was consideran uniplortant month) was reduced to 28 days. This brought the year back into line.
