This year will see an extra day at the end of the month — February 29. If you weren't already aware, that's a little date with a big impact. Without sticking an extra day in February once every four years, experts say our calendar seasons would stop aligning with the planet. The summer months would turn cold and the winter months hot due to how Earth rotates around the sun.
If we didn't observe leap years, our seasons would be thrown off, as our equinoxes and summer and winter solstice would no longer align with the seasons. To address this issue, Julius Caesar introduced the Julian calendar, a solar calendar, which included a leap year system. When the Julian calendar was later refined into the Gregorian calendar in 1582, the tradition of adding a leap day to February persisted.
