Leap Year This Year

Normally, there are only 365 days in a year, but during a leap year, there is an additional day making it 366 days in a year. So when it is a leap year, instead of having 28 days of a February, there will be 29 days. And leap year only happens every four (4) years, and this year 2008 is a leap year! Today is February 28, so it means that tommorrow will not be March yet, one more day to enjoy February, so hopefully you savor and enjoy the day, it only comes once every 4 years.

According to Wikipedia, a Leap Year (or intercalary year) is:
A year containing one or more extra days (or, in case of lunisolar calendars, an extra month) in order to keep the calendar year synchronised with the astronomical or seasonal year. For example, February would have 29 days in a leap year instead of the usual 28. Seasons and astronomical events do not repeat at an exact number of full days, so a calendar which had the same number of days in each year would over time drift with respect to the event it was supposed to track. By occasionally inserting (or intercalating) an additional day or month into the year, the drift can be corrected. A year which is not a leap year is called a common year.
