What are Fortnight and Leap Year

A fortnight is a unit of time commonly used in British and Commonwealth countries, equating to a period of two weeks. It comprises 14 consecutive days and originates from the Old English term 'feowertyne niht,' meaning 'fourteen nights.' Fortnights are often used in contexts such as payroll, agriculture, and event planning.

A leap year is a calendar year containing an additional day in February, making it a 366-day year instead of the standard 365 days. This extra day, February 29th, compensates for the fact that a solar year is slightly longer than 365 days. Leap years occur every four years to keep our calendar in alignment with Earth's revolutions around the Sun.
