Google doodle celebrate "Leap Day" 2024.!!!

To commemorate "Leap Day," google published a doodle on Thursday, february 29. This doodle is exceptional thus far because it can be seen practically anywhere in the world. In Google's doodle, the dates february 28 and march 1 are displayed with a frog that is marked with the leap day date. The frog leaps, and the Leap Day date disappears. This scene is depicted with the word "Google" prominently displayed against the backdrop of a pond filled with stones and foliage.

Furthermore, the description of this poignant image reads, "Exciting news—it's Leap Day! Only once every four years, on february 29th, is Leap Day observed to keep our calendars in line with the sun and Earth. Cheers to this february bonus day – Happy Leap Day!" The first leap year occurred more than 2,000 years ago. This was done in order to account for the fact that the Earth takes precisely 365.2422 days to orbit the sun—a little over 365 days—and to assist match the regular Gregorian calendar with the solar calendar.

The most popular civil calendar in the world, the Gregorian calendar, counts leap years as having 366 days rather than 365. Leap Day is an extra day observed to make up for the fact that an astronomical year consists of slightly fewer days than 365 days and 6 hours. 2020 was the final Leap Day, while 2028 will see the arrival of the next one.

This year, on february 29, "leap year babies" will have the unique opportunity to celebrate their birthday, as this day only occurs once every four years. As such, this day has frequently been the subject of multiple jokes and sporadic bureaucratic issues. Leap Day is a shared birthday for almost 5 million individuals worldwide, according to the Associated Press. This figure represents 0.06 percent of the world's population of 8 billion.
