Why does February have 28 days?
February is short because the Roman calendar it descends from ran ten months and left winter uncounted. When January and February were added, February took the remainder. The leap day exists because the Earth takes about 365.2422 days to orbit the Sun, so an extra day is inserted in years divisible by four, skipping century years unless they divide by 400. That is why 2000 was a leap year and 1900 was not.
