Why February has 28 or 29 days
A year is about 365.2422 days long, so an extra day is added to February in leap years. A year is a leap year if it divides by 4, except century years, which must divide by 400. That is why 2000 was a leap year and 1900 was not. 2026 is not a leap year; see is 2026 a leap year?

Seven months have 31 days (January, March, May, July, August, October and December), four have 30 (April, June, September and November), and February has 28 or 29. The old rhyme "Thirty days hath September, April, June and November" is the easiest way to remember them. Another trick is to count on your knuckles: every knuckle is a 31-day month and every dip between them is a shorter one. The whole year has 365 days in 2026.
