Another month of the year is 30 or 31 days. But in February the month came down to 28 or 29 days. Of these, 29 days comes after four years. It is called Leap Year. Many of the 28-day mysteries of February are not known. So let's know that the surprise story.

Not that we used the Gregorian era calendar. Previously the Julian calendar was in circulation. At that time the Romans took 304 days of the year according to the Greek calendar. The month was ten. There was no existence in January and February. The first month was March. King Numa Pampilius added January and February month to the calendar. So February was the last month of the year. The time was January 31 and February 31 days.

According to a report, the odd months were treated as unhappiness. The Romans believed that there could be ghosts in odd numbers. So Numa Pompilius has done 28 days in February. But February month is not 28 days per year. The sun takes 365 days and 6 hours to rotate the earth around the sun. As a result, after every 4 years, 24 hours, that is, one day extra. That day was added with the month of February. So, after 4 years, February's date was 29.
