Mission control center's board with time data, displaying coordinated universal time with ordinal date (without year) prepended, on October 22, 2013 (i.e.2013-295). An ordinal date is a calendar date typically consisting of a year and an ordinal number, ranging between 1 and 366 (starting on January 1), representing the multiples of a day, called day of the year or ordinal day number (also ...
The Julian date (JD) of any instant is the Julian day number plus the fraction of a day since the preceding noon in Universal Time. Julian dates are expressed as a Julian day number with a decimal fraction added. [8] For example, the Julian Date for 00:30:00.0 UT January 1, 2013, is 2 456 293.520 833. [9]
This template generates an ordinal date. Used alone as {{Ordinal date}} it will generate the ordinal date for the current year-month-day. Check the result at tycho.usno.navy.mil after this page. This template may also be used to generate the ordinal date for any Gregorian calendar dates by passing the proper syntax to the following variables:
Subtract the weekday number from the ordinal day of the year. Add 10. Divide by 7, discard the remainder. If the week number thus obtained equals 0, it means that the given date belongs to the preceding (week-based) year. If a week number of 53 is obtained, one must check that the date is not actually in week 1 of the following year. Formula
This template returns the date (month name and day of month) from a day number in a year. Syntax: {{Date from ordinal|day of year}} {{Date from ordinal|day of year|year}} {{Date from ordinal|day of year|leapyear=isleap}} The year parameter is optional. If specified the date serial is handled for that specific year (leapyear is then ignored).
National standard format is yyyy-mm-dd. [161] dd.mm.yyyy format is used in some places where it is required by EU regulations, for example for best-before dates on food [162] and on driver's licenses. d/m format is used casually, when the year is obvious from the context, and for date ranges, e.g. 28-31/8 for 28–31 August.
These formulas are based on the observation that the day of the week progresses in a predictable manner based upon each subpart of that date. Each term within the formula is used to calculate the offset needed to obtain the correct day of the week. For the Gregorian calendar, the various parts of this formula can therefore be understood as follows:
