It is the shortest month and the only month with fewer than 30 days. It has 28 days in common years or 29 days in leap years.
Having only 28 days in common years, did you know it is the only month of the year that can pass without a single full moon? This is called a ‘Black Moon’.
If there is no full moon in February then January and March will have two full moons. The second moon of the month is called a ‘Blue Moon’.
Have you ever heard the saying when something doesn’t happen often, we say: ‘It only happens once in a blue moon’.
