Leap Year and Our Calendars!
A Leap Year is essentially a year when we play catch up to see that all is right between our calendars and our seasons. February 29th, or Leap Year Day, is added to the calendar during leap years. This extra day makes the year 366 days long – not 365 days, like a common year.

Julius Caesar Created the New Calendar!
Later after 3,000 years, in 45 BC Julius Caesar then created a 12 month calendar with 365 days based off the Egyptian calendar. But then after he realized that the earth actually has 365.24 days per year rather than 365, he needed a change. So to correct this and make sure our calendar stayed in correct alignment with our seasons, he then declared that an extra day was to be added every 4 years.
