The Leap Year: Why 2024 is Special

The concept of a leap year is simply based on basic mathematical calculations. You should note that the Earth takes approximately 365.25 days to complete its one rotation around the sun.

It is very difficult and impractical to have a year of 365.25 days. So, to balance the calculations, one extra day is added after every four years. The year 2024 is a leap year with 29th February 2024 being the extra day.

29th February is a once-in-a-four year day event. You can find many events happening near you on this day. You can make the most of them by visiting any of these events and creating unforgettable memories.
