👉 February, often referred to as "short month" in many cultures, is the only month with 28 days in a common calendar year, though it can vary between 29 and 30 days due to leap years. This month typically marks the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere, bringing warmer temperatures and longer days. February's mathematical significance lies in its role as a transitional month, bridging winter and spring, and in its calculation of leap years. A year is a leap year if it's divisible by 4, but it's not if it's divisible by 100 unless also divisible by 400. This means that every four years, except for those divisible by 100, is a leap year, adding an extra day (February 29) to keep our calendar in sync with Earth's orbit around the Sun. Understanding February's structure helps in predicting seasonal changes and planning events, especially in fields like agriculture, meteorology, and architecture.
