Why it is in this year?

The year 2008 is called the Leap year. The Earth takes 365 ¼ days to orbit the sun. With the solar calendar, the year ended five days early. So for completion the difference of five day it is decided to increase one day in the month of February after ever four year. In result of which the year which could be divided on 4 digits could be called the leap year having 20 days instead of 28 days in February. It means the digit 2008 could be divided on 4. So this is the year of leap 29 day’s February.
