More About leap year
Leap years started a long time ago. People wanted to keep track of time. They found out that the sun takes a bit longer than 365 days. So, they added a day every four years.
Leap years help us know when to plant crops. They help us know when to have fun in the sun. Without leap years, our seasons would be off.
