Eleven months have either 30 or 31 days, while the second month, February, has only 28 days during the common year. However, almost every four years a leap year occurs, during which an extra day— February 29 —is added ...
Oct 23, 2024 · The Gregorian calendar differs from the Julian only in that no century year is a leap year unless it is exactly divisible by 400 (e.g., 1600 and 2000).
