If we stopped having leap years, in approximately how many years would the Indian Independence Day happen in winter? Class 8

Answer:

If we stopped having leap years, the calendar would fall behind the seasons by about 1 day every 4 years.

So, to shift Indian Independence Day (15 August) from summer to winter (about a 6-month shift, or 180 days):

180 times × 4 years = 720 years

So, in about 720 years, Independence Day would fall in winter.
