Which months have the least days?

February has the least number of days among all the months. It typically has either 28 days in common years or 29 days in leap years.

Why is February so short?

February has fewer days than other months because it was added later to the Roman calendar. 

Originally, the Roman calendar had ten months, beginning in March and ending in December. January and February were added later, with February being the last month to be added. Because it was the last month, it was given the fewest number of days, in order to make the transition to the next year’s calendar easier. 

The addition of leap years also affects February’s length, as it is the only month that can have either 28 or 29 days.
