Is 2024 a leap year? The date of February jump day plus what its miles, why we have it, and the meaning at the back of it
Leap Day, also known as February 29, is a special day that occurs during leap years. While February typically has 28 days (making it the shortest month of the year), every four years, it gains an additional day—leap day. The last leap day was in 2020
In 2024, we experienced another leap year, and the leap day fell on Thursday, February 29. The next leap years will be in 2028,2032 and 2036. These extra days are essential to keep our calendar in alignment with the Earth’s revolutions around the Sun. Without them, our calendar would gradually drift out of sync with the natural solar cycles. So, thanks to leap days, we maintain temporal harmony!
🌎🌞Fun fact: Leap day traditions include women proposing to their boyfriends, reversing the usual proposal roles. It’s a quirky custom that has persisted for over 2000 years! 🎉💍
