What planet takes 28 days to go round space?

The planet that takes approximately 28 days to complete an orbit around the Sun is not a planet but the Moon, which takes about 27.3 days to orbit Earth. If you're referring to a planet specifically, the time it takes for planets to orbit the Sun varies; for example, Mercury takes about 88 Earth days. However, no major planet in our solar system has a 28-day orbital period.

Why 28 days in Feb?

There are 28 days that exist in February except for every fourth year when there is a day added which is of course the February 29th. The reason being that each day is not exactly 24 hours rather there is a little bit of time that each day goes over the 24 hour period. To make up that time a 24 hour period is added to our calendar once every four years. Baby's that are born on the 29th of February are called leap year baby's. The year 2012 (and all years divisible by 4 but not 100 but 400) February has 29 days.
