Leap Year and Day of Year
A leap year has 366 days instead of 365, adding February 29. That means the day number for any date from March 1 to December 31 increases by 1 compared to a normal year.
Example
If the selected date is March 1, the day number is 60 in a normal year and 61 in a leap year because Feb 29 adds one extra day.
