In a leap year, how many days are there?

• A. 366 days
• B. 365 days
• C. 360 days
• D. 364 days

Answer: (A)

Leap year adds an extra day to February, giving February 29 days and making the year total 366 days. This compensates for the fact that the solar year is about 365.24 days, so adding one day every four years keeps the calendar roughly aligned with the seasons. The common year has 365 days, and 360 or 364 days are not totals used by this calendar system.
