There are 28 days that exist in February except for every fourth year when there is a day added which is of course the February 29th. The reason being that each day is not exactly 24 hours rather there is a little bit of time that each day goes over the 24 hour period. To make up that time a 24 hour period is added to our calendar once every four years.

Baby's that are born on the 29th of February are called leap year baby's.

The year 2012 (and all years divisible by 4 but not 100 but 400) February has 29 days.

February has 28 days because it is the only month that is closest to the average length of a lunar month (~29.5 days) and the length of a solar year (~365.25 days). In order to keep the calendar year in alignment with the solar year, February was assigned 28 days.

Why there is 28 days in feb only why others months not have only 28 days?

In my opinon Feb has 28 days because the first month (Jan) started with a large amout of days (31).They could not devide the rest so the they took the first month of less days(Feb) and instead of making it 30 the made the first month of less days(Feb) 28 or as we say on a leap year 29
