Code: {{#time:j F Y|{{JULIANDAY.TIMESTAMP|{{JULIANDAY|2006|12|25}}+90}}}} 90 days from 25 December 2007 is: 24 March 2008 (1 day less than first example due to leap year in 2008)
A calendar date is a reference to a particular day, represented within a calendar system, enabling a specific day to be unambiguously identified. Simple math can be performed between dates; commonly, the number of days between two dates may be calculated, e.g., "25 February 2025" is ten days after "15 February 2025".
