A leap year is a special year that has an extra day added to it. This makes February have 29 days instead of the usual 28. Leap years happen every four years.
Earth's Journey: It takes about 365.25 days for Earth to go all the way around the Sun.
Keeping Things Accurate: If we didn't have leap years, our calendar would slowly get out of sync with the seasons.
So, thanks to leap years, we can make sure our months and seasons stay matched up!
