  2. 360-day calendar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/360-day_calendar

    The 360-day calendar is a method of measuring durations used in financial markets, in computer models, in ancient literature, and in prophetic literary genres.. It is based on merging the three major calendar systems into one complex clock [citation needed], with the 360-day year derived from the average year of the lunar and the solar: (365.2425 (solar) + 354.3829 (lunar))/2 = 719.6254/2 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_day

    The term Julian date may also refer, outside of astronomy, to the day-of-year number (more properly, the ordinal date) in the Gregorian calendar, especially in computer programming, the military and the food industry, [10] or it may refer to dates in the Julian calendar. For example, if a given "Julian date" is "October 5, 1582", this means ...

  4. Astronomical year numbering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_year_numbering

    The year 1 BC/BCE is numbered 0, the year 2 BC is numbered −1, and in general the year n BC/BCE is numbered "−(n − 1)" [1] (a negative number equal to 1 − n). The numbers of AD/CE years are not changed and are written with either no sign or a positive sign; thus in general n AD/CE is simply n or +n. [1] For normal calculation a number ...

  5. Calendar date - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar_date

    A calendar date is a reference to a particular day represented within a calendar system. The calendar date allows the specific day to be identified. The number of days between two dates may be calculated. For example, "25 January 2025" is ten days after "15 January 2025". The date of a particular event depends on the observed time zone.

  6. Dual dating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_dating

    As an example, in the date "10/21 February 1750/51" – a style seen in the records of Great Britain and its possessions – the notation arises from the prospective or previous adoption of the Gregorian calendar and a concurrent calendar reform. (The dual day number is due to the eleven days difference (at the time) between the Julian calendar ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conversion_between_Julian...

    No guidance is provided about conversion of dates before March 5, -500, or after February 29, 2100 (both being Julian dates). For unlisted dates, find the date in the table closest to, but earlier than, the date to be converted. Be sure to use the correct column. If converting from Julian to Gregorian, add the

  8. Doomsday rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_rule

    The doomsday's anchor day calculation is effectively calculating the number of days between any given date in the base year and the same date in the current year, then taking the remainder modulo 7. When both dates come after the leap day (if any), the difference is just 365 y + ⁠ y / 4 ⁠ (rounded down).

  9. Old Style and New Style dates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Style_and_New_Style_dates

    The need to correct the calendar arose from the realisation that the correct figure for the number of days in a year is not 365.25 (365 days 6 hours) as assumed by the Julian calendar but slightly less (c. 365.242 days). The Julian calendar therefore has too many leap years.
