Question If we stopped having leap years, in approximately how many years would the Indian Independence Day happen in winter?
One leap year adds ~1 day every 4 years. Without leap years, the calendar shifts by 1 day every 4 years. There are roughly 183 days between 15 August (monsoon) and winter (mid-February). 183 days × 4 = 732 years In approximately 730-732 years, 15 August would occur in winter.
