Leap Day .
February 29 is aleap day intercalary date added periodically to createleap years in theJulian andGregorian calendars . It is the 60th day of a leap year in both Julian and Gregorian calendars, and 306 days remain until the end of the leap year. It is the last day ofFebruary in leap years only. It is also the last day ofmeteorological winter in theNorthern Hemisphere and the last day ofmeteorological summer in theSouthern Hemisphere in leap years.
In the Gregorian calendar, the standardcivil calendar used in most of the world, February 29 is added in each year that is an integer multiple of four, unless it is evenly divisible by 100 but not by 400. For example,1900 was not a leap year, but2000 was. The Julian calendar—since 1923 aliturgical calendar —has a February 29 every fourth year without exception. Consequently, February 29 in the Julian calendar, since 1900, falls 13 days later than February 29 in the Gregorian, until the year 2100.[ 1]
The convention of using February 29 was not widely accepted before the 15th century; from Julius Caesar's edict in 45 BC until the 16th century (formally),February 24 was doubled instead.[ 2] one of its attempts to adopt the Gregorian calendar , Sweden tried (unsuccessfully) to phase in the change by omitting leap days in the 11 successive leap-years, 1700–1740.[ 3]
