1.On February 29,Billy Smith will celebrate his 15th birthday.He will be 60years old.How is this possible?Billy was born on February 29,or"Leap Day"Leap day only happens on"leap year",which come once every four years.So Billy has been alive since 1952,he has only had 14birthdays.
What is Leap Day?It is a way of making our calendar more accurate,in most years,February has 28days,and the whole year has 365.The problem is that the earth takes a little more than 365days to go around the sun-about six hours more,or one fourth of one day.So to make up for this difference,every four years an extra day is added to February:February 29.Billy's birthday.
