Why is February so short?
This is a question many people ask! The answer is a mix of historical and astronomical reasons. The short length of February is largely a legacy of the Roman calendar. Originally, February was the last month of the year, and its length was adjusted to fit the needs of the calendar.

While the astronomical reasons are complex, it's the historical choices that have left us with a shorter February than its brethren.
