This is the Accusative case.

We use different structures for different periods of time in Russian, there is no particular logic in it. (Basically it is the same in English - they say 'On Monday', but 'in Summer', but 'at night' - no logic really)

And, of course, questions usually have the same structure as answers. This is the basic rule for Russian, English and most other languages I believe.

So what we have in Russian.

Dates
Genitive case with no preposition: Восьмого октября, пятого марта. And the question is alson in Genitive: Какого числа?

Months
В + Prepositional case: В сентябре, в октябре. So the question is also in Prepositional: В каком месяце?

Years

В + Prepositional case: В 1987 году, в прошлом году. So the question is also in Prepositional: В каком году?

Days of the week
В + Accusative: В понедельник, в среду. So the question is also in Accusative: В какой день (недели)?

Basically this is the answer to your question. As you may see, nothing really complicated, just something you need to learn and remember.

However, sometimes, the questions do not match the structure of answers if we talk about Seasons and Parts of 24Hours
We use Instrumental case for them: ночью, утром, летом, зимой. But the questions will be В + Accusative: В какое время года? В какое время суток?
