The only country in the world, 11 days had disappeared from its calendar, know what was the reason?

You must have heard of different calendars. They also have different dates. But there is one country in the world from which 11 days had disappeared from its calendar. That means those 11 days did not count towards him. People slept at night and when they woke up, 11 days had passed. As interesting as this incident sounds, its reason is even more interesting.

This is the story of Britain. In the year 1752, between September 3 and September 13, neither anyone was born, nor anyone died, nor any marriage took place here. No wars were fought, no terms were imposed, no trade agreements were signed. Because these 11 days did not exist in the calendar of this country. People slept on the night of September 2, 1752 and woke up on September 14. Because Britain was previously using the Julian calendar, while most of its neighbors had already moved to the more accurate Gregorian calendar. Because of this, Britain also had to adopt a new calendar. Because of this, Britain had to suffer a loss of 11 days.

Didn’t know what date it was
To adopt the new calendar, the British Parliament passed a law, which is known as the Calendar New Style Act 1750. Earlier, the Julian calendar which was followed by Britain was prepared by Julius Caesar in 46 BC. In it the errors of the lunisolar calendar were corrected. This was a Roman calendar, in which there were 355 days and 12 months in a year. But it was about 10 days shorter than the solar year. Later, 23 or 23 days were added to the calendar every second year to keep track of the Sun. Just like we add leap days every four years. As a result, the Roman year kept varying between 355, 377 and 378 days. A team used to decide it. But many times he would add or subtract as per his wish. Due to this, citizens often did not know which date was the current day.

to compete with the sun
According to the report of amusingplanet.com, to correct this problem, Julius Caesar asked philosophers and mathematicians to make a calendar that could keep track of the Sun without human intervention. At that time a year was of 365 days and 6 hours. Mathematicians said that if one day is added every four years, the six hours missing every year will be compensated. This practice was going on since then. Actually, the Earth takes 365 days, 5 hours, 48 ​​minutes and 45 seconds to revolve around the Sun, so the Julian calendar was not absolutely accurate. The result of centuries of mistake was that the matter went far away from the correct date. The Gregorian calendar dates back to 1582. But it is so accurate that it almost equals the Sun. Therefore there is no change in timing.
