Why is there a Leap Day? Google Shows Doodle for Leap Year 2016
Posted: February 29, 2016
Today's (29th February 2016) Google Doodle celebrates Leap Day!
The 29th of February only happens every four years. This is to keep our calendar in sync with the rotation of the Earth around the sun. Without Leap Day, we'd be out of sync by about six hours per year.
