Why Does February Have 28 Days??
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- We can thank the Romans for our chaotic complex calendar system. February has been a neglected month throughout history. Essentially, it got it's 28 days because the Romans used the lunar cycles to design the months when they should have based their calendar off of the sun. Superstition and politics also played a major part in creating the months. In any case, it's too late to change it now. Please tell us your thoughts on the calendar system in the comments below.

Minute of silence for all of us born on 29th of february
Never reach drinking age :/
Lol I was due on the 29th, but I was born on the 20th instead. Would have been cool... :X
jajja do you celebrate it on March 1st then? OMG jajaja
Toni Negulic (giggle) 😊
Toni Negulic My teacher was born on the 29th (Of February) and every non-leap year she celebrates it on the 1st of March.
You forgot to mention about how Pope Gregory changed the calendar once more. The year is about 365.2425 days long. So every 100 years we skip the leap year, but every 400 years we keep the leap year. So leap years happen every four years, but we skip the leap year every hundred years except for when that year is divisible by four. This is why the year 1900 did not have a leap day, but the year 2000 did.
Thank you, I got really confused after checking year 2000 and it's february had 29 days.

Ok
1900 / 4 = 475
I get what you mean though.
Ofcourse, why would a woke channel give any credit to the Catholic religion or any good Catholic, lest some people look up the church and convert to Christ.
I love watching these. Reminds of School House Rocks. The narrator is inviting and holds your attention. The pictures are phenomenal but simple and well thought out to go with the narrative. . Great topics.
After 2 months of hibernation, After Skool is back!! Big things coming in 2018!!!
After Skool MEOW
After Skool Nice job on the 344k subscribers! Seems like yesterday when you were at 50k!!
Thanks brotha!
After Skool I don't have a 2 month winter break...I have only 2 weeks XDD
After Skool kk
Well done 👍🏼. I learned something new and interesting. EXCELLENT timing on the Publish Date (February 1 👍🏼👍🏼).
I wish we just had 13 months of 28 days each (with the 13th month being 29 days actually to make it 365 so 30 days on leap years); making every month exactly 4 weeks long... it would make things so simple and convenient.
The drawings and colors and the text just makes me want to watch the video more
Thanks for the Information.😊
wow!! this video made my point of view about calendars totally different! thank you...amazing content!
Thanks!
Great video, but the rule about leap year is missing an information.
" These extra days occur in years which are multiples of four (with the exception of years divisible by 100 but not by 400)."
So this is what people have been Googling recently 🤔
Don't forget about the Rich Piana video.
I could never forget Rich! RIP
Thank you so much man, i guessed i already subscribed.
This was interesting!
As a leap year baby I'm thankful for this!...
For me this is a before school video but it’s still cool
Best trivia ever
Very interesting !
It sounds very interesting. I've always wondered why February only has 28 or (29 days in the leap year). February seems to be the shortest month of the year.
Anyway greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪
Really interesting video
This video is dope really really dope😎
WTF do we need school for if we can watch this Guy instead
Thank you
Thanks a lot
Nice explanation
Chow mun hu seng
Actually every 400 years there is leap year, so 1900 extra day was skipped but 2000 was not and the extra day was present.
Exactly why I used 1900 instead of 2000. Good point though!
Gravoo But on our country, leap year is celebrated every 4 years.....
Right
wow this is super cool to know
Great video
The calender and time itself is a human constraint on the open mind.
Why not make January and March 30 days, and give the two days to February. That would at least make things a little more even at the beginning of the year.
it's just.
AMAZING
I really enjoy and appreciate your videos! The only small suggestion I would make is to spell 'school' correctly in your name. I know it's a fun thing to spell it with a 'k', but we have so many people who won't read a book these days. They learn from videos, so displaying the correct spelling may be better for them to see. This is just a suggestion and I mean no offense at all. Thanks for the great work!
haha thank you for the thought! We really appreciate it! Spelling it "Skool" instead of "School" was very well thought out and intentional. When a child is asked to spell "knife", they naturally would answer, "N-I-F-E". Then the child is told they are wrong. If the K is silent, why is it there? There are so many things in the current school system that don't make sense. I always loved to learn, but I didn't care much for school. After Skool is a place where we can share ideas that aren't taught in the classroom. :)
I have always wanted to know this!!!
How about *1 day = 24.01hrs?*
I'm born on February 29!😁
always wondered why!
How about a q and a for the next vid? :)
Great idea! But it takes about 100 hours to make one of these animations...so it might be a while before we can get you the answers. But please send us any questions you want answered and we will explore! Thanks!
no wonder Y2K has no leap days..thanks for the detail answer
Ordinary Mevaker Edwin Y2K actually has a leap day. Something about the year being divisible by 400...I'm no professional though
I'm born on the 15th of February
Like is your birthday is on an even month
Kittiecorn im born on feb. 28
26
Lemon Berry super
the gods would be angry if we changed the calendar
I had no idea
I think they should make summer longer
February is warm as fuck down here lol
Why though it makes more sense to have each calendar get 5 years worth of months (60 months) with no leap year that way it is more even and it makes more sense in polar regions
Better idea each rotation contains 15 months of 25 days plus 9.24 extra time but it eventually equals 231 days even in extra time on that “year “ we call it a manner year because it was made for people to live in a timely manner that works for society until the earth shifts way too much for it to work effectively.
i only watched the video bc my bd is in feb 28
January and February existed due to the Roman god Janus, the ones that didnt exist and were added later due to the names of Caesars were July and August.
but the real question is: why doesn't other months have 28 days?
because they’re not black history month
@@MRIDDLE72 This did not, in any way, shape or form, age well.
Exactly and why is there even a calender why do months exist ?
The 12 lunar cycles - But there is 13 months -1 day in a year
Hi, I still didn't get the calculation of 355 days mentioned in the video at 1min 08 sec.
So, Winter didn't count? Wow
My question: "When do we not do leap year?"
They said after 100 years of observing leap year, they skip it for one time. When did that last happen? When can I skip leap year?
I hope we don't forget and then get off course. Wish humanity a good reminder that can be dependable in 100 years.
That's a great question. We skip leap year once every 100 years UNLESS it's divisible by 400. So the year 2000 did have one, but 2100 won't have one.
It has 28 days because it was the runt and got the leftovers? Poor February
why did we get rid of the month *Sextilis* ? that sounds like the most interesting month of them all.
tomorrow is my birthday 2/2 and dont say that to feb i love feb because i love spring and i love spring because i love nature and i love nature because i love plants okay i will stop there
It's Okay to be Smart: "NUMA!!!!"
After School and WTF seem at odds with each other.
Wasnt it ceaser? Or it is really written caeser?
2:30 HAHAHAHAHAHA (WTF?)
And here I thought ALL months had 28 days in them... 🤔
Im early! Btw im not first After Skool is!
What if you were born on the 29th of February and next year February only ends on the 28th??🤧🙄
We should use the Mayan or Aztec calendars instead😂😂
didn't one of them end a few years back?
Soo....... without the Egyptians ?'😂👌
God, I love these. 😄
You say it's too late to change it now?... How so?
And there is a leap year if the year is divisible by 400. Therefore, 2000 was a leap year! 😉
Leap Year 2400!
I thought July and August were added later by the Romans in honor of Ceaser and Augustus?
So we can get to March faster
What about thr Julian Calendar
but it's not just every 100 years, it also has to be divisible by 400... thus 1900 is not a leap year, 2000 is, and 2100 isn't...
I'm going to look pretty silly in 2400!
This is wrong because 30 is an even number so February isn’t the only even month. But also the months with 30 days.
But sometimes February has 29 days
Thanks for the info👍 Do you always draw with your left hand?
Yessir!
Cool. Is it your own drawings?? They are pretty cool👍 I make animation videos too (not as good as yours and I use a progam called videoscribe for my videos) Any change of a collab and a shout out at any time??🙂 Keep up the great work👍
A www ur a leftie
Because all months have 28 days.
Feburry?
if we have 365 days. why bother with months? why dont we just count days and years.
You're spelling it the wrong way.. it's not after skool .it's after scool..
Because 29 days were too long
ALL OF THEM DO!
Because, It is to fit the days into the earth orbit around sun.
I am Alex G-I
I don't get it
**school**
This is bs. The ancient calendars were different because the Earth's orbit around the Sun was different. Cosmic interactions have affected our planets orbits..all the ancient calendars and many ancient writings show this to be the case. They also talk of the sun rising in the west and setting in the east which means spinning the other way or pole shift.
weird...
I did not get it but okay 😏📆📅
Then Hindu panchang is better than this calander hey make a video on it
2409th xD
