WHY FEBRUARY HAS ONLY 28 DAYS ?????


MANY YEARS AGO A ROMAN KING ROMULUS MADE A CALANDER FROM MARCH TO DECEMBER......

HE DID NOT CONSIDER JANUARY AND FEBRUARY EVEN WE CAN SAY THAT THERE IS NO BIRTH OF JANUARY AND FEBRUARY ...



BECAUSE THESE MONTHS ARE OF WINTER WHICH IS VEY COLD......
SO THEY DO NOT CONSIDER THESE MONTHS..



THEN THE SECOND ROMAN KING NUMA POMPILIUS MADE A CALANDER ACCORDING TO 12 LUNAR CYCLE WHICH IS APPROXIMATELY 354 DAYS

BUT IN ROME EVEN NO. ARE CONSIDERED UNLUCKY . SO NUMA ADD 1 MORE DAY IN 354 DAYS. 


HE ALSO MADE EACH MONTH ODD NO. IN HIS CALANDER THE JANUARY AND FEBRUARY TAKE PLACE AT LAST . HE LEAVES AN EVEN MONTH i.e. FEBRUARY WITH 28 DAYS TO REACH THE TOTAL OF 355 DAYS .....






BUT AS THE EARTH TAKE 365 DAYS AND 6 Hrs  TO COMPLETE ITS ONE REVOLUTION AROUND THE SUN...

SO SEASON  AND WEATHER CONDITIONS STARTED MISMATCHING WITH 355 DAYS .THEN JULIUS CAESAR WHO DECIDED TO FOLLOW THE SOLAR CALANDER OF EGYPTIANS...

THAT HAD JANUARY AND FEBRUARY AT THE FIRST PLACE AND MADE A CALANDER OF 365 DAYS  FROM JANUARY TO DECEMBER BUT THE 6 Hrs WERE LEFT SO AFTER 4 YEARS THERE IS A LEAP YEAR COMES WHOSE FEBURARY HAS 29 DAYS....
