why does february alone has 28 days and others 30 and 31 respectively?

Question

this may be a bit confused but please answer me as i m trying to solve this

Answer 1

The shortest month of the year seems to have gone by in a flash. Why does February have only 28 days?

It's the Romans' fault. Our modern calendar is loosely based on their old, confusing one. Though records on the Roman calendar are sparse and sketchy, legend has it that Romulus, the first king of Rome, devised a 10-month lunar calendar that began at the spring equinox in March and ended with December. It is unclear whether there were any official months between December and March, but it's likely they were left off because the wintertime wasn't important for the harvest.

The second king of Rome, Numa Pompilius, decided to make the calendar more accurate by syncing it up with the actual lunar year—which is about 354 days long. Numa tacked on two months—January and February—after December to account for the new days.

Answer 2

Supposedly it was looted of one day by Julius Ceasar to make his month (July) 31 days. Then Augustus Ceasar took one from poor February to make his month (August) also be 31 days.

Heard that a long time ago, but never have checked it out.

Answer 3

Our days weren't calculated accurately. therefore we have leap year every four years. Aztecs on the other hand, don't have any extra days because their calculation of the days was nearly perfect. Why we don't just go by their time I don't know. It seems to make more sense, although the days would be longer.

Answer 4

It was just that way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
