If there were no leap years, eventually February would be a summer month for the Northern Hemisphere. 2019 isn't a leap year, but 2020 will be. Earthly calendars have to work hard to stay in sync with the natural rhythms of Earth's orbit around the sun.

_________________________________________
- This year, 2020, is a leap year, and what that means is that we get an extra day this year. We get that extra day because we count time, in part, by the time it takes Earth to go around the sun. Because we do that, every four years our calendar must come into agreement with the calendar that governs the universe.
