🌍 The Fascinating Story Behind Leap Years

Leap years keep our calendar aligned with the Earth’s revolutions around the sun. Without leap years, seasons would slowly drift, causing chaos in agriculture, holidays, and daily life. This tool makes it simple to understand and appreciate this clever adjustment.
