★ 6th is a Wednesday
★ 21st is a Thursday
★ 15th is a Friday
★ A day repeats itself after every 7 days.
The names of the months in order with number of days are given below in the table.
From the above table, we see that:
l January, March, May, July, August, October and December have 31 days.
l April, June, September and November have 30 days.

February has 28 days. Once in four years, February has 29 days. The year in which February has 29 days is called a leap year.
The year which has 29 days in. February is called a leap year.
