The time interval between the Earth's one-week orbits around the Sun is about 365.2422 days, and we use a calendar that has only 365 days per year in a flat year, which means that every four years there's almost one extra day on the calendar. To solve this remainder, an extra leap day - February 29th - is added after every 4 years. This was done for the first time in the Julian calendar, which was developed by the ancient Romans in 46 BC. But this was still inaccurate compared to one week of Earth's rotation, so three more leap days were canceled every four hundred years, and this is the Gregorian calendar, the solar calendar that is now used around the world.

The current solar calendar was established by Julius Caesar in 46 BC. Initially, he stipulated that there should be 12 months in a year, with a single month of 31 days as a big month and a double month of 30 days as a small month. After this stipulation, there were 366 days in a year, and there was one extra day, which should be deducted, and from which month should it be deducted? At that time, Rome had to execute a group of prisoners in February every year, so February was considered an unlucky month. As a result, Caesar reduced February by one day, leaving 29 days. Later, when Augustus became emperor, he realized that the month of July, in which Caesar was born, had 31 days, while the month of August, in which he himself was born, had only 30 days, so he subtracted another day from February and added it to August. This left February with 28 days (29 days with a leap every four years) and August became 31 days. At the same time, he made changes to the number of days in the following months, and it became what it is now.

Leaping a day every four years is a bit too much. The correct way to do it would be to leap every four years, but not in centuries, such as 2100 or 2200, but again in 400 years, such as 2000 or 2400.
