How many days are there in February 2002?
The reason why the number of days in February is not fixed is that there will be a leap year every four years, and every leap year will have an extra day in February. In fact, February begins with a fixed 29 days. According to legend, a Roman emperor named Auguste changed the original 29 days in February to 28 days in order to protect his dignity.
It takes 365 days for the ball to go around the sun, which is what we call a year. Then, a year of 365 days is called an average year. When it comes to normal years, some people think of leap years.
To be precise, it takes 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds for the earth to go around the sun. Then, the extra 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds a year will take 4 years to make up for one day. Then, this day will be in February, which is what we call a leap year.
