How Many Days Are in a Month?
Have you ever wondered how many days are in a month? The Gregorian calendar, which is most commonly used globally, divides the year into 12 months. Here’s the breakdown:
- January: 31 days
- February: 28 days (29 days in a leap year)
- March: 31 days
- April: 30 days
- May: 31 days
- June: 30 days
- July: 31 days
- August: 31 days
- September: 30 days
- October: 31 days
- November: 30 days
- December: 31 days
February is unique because, during a leap year (occurring approximately every four years), it has 29 days instead of 28. Leap years are determined by whether the year is divisible by 4 and, if divisible by 100, also divisible by 400.
In summary, most months have either 30 or 31 days, while February is the exception with fewer days. This total division ensures the year aligns closely with the Earth's orbit around the Sun.
