Question
Which year is called ‘Leap Year’?
✓
Answer
One year of the Earth consists of $365$ days and $6$ hours. $6$ hours constitute $¼$ part of a day. It is difficult to calculate $¼$ part of the day, so a year is calculated to be of $365$ days. The remaining six hours of every four years are adjusted in the month of February by adding one day more, i.e., $29$ days are calculated instead of 28 days. That is why February has $29$ days in every four years. That year is called ‘Leap Year’.
