Note that all parameters default to the current date, so for example, the second set of parameters can be left out to calculate elapsed time since a past date: {{Age in years, months, weeks and days |month1 = 1 |day1 = 1 |year1 = 1 }} → 2023 years, 11 months, 2 weeks and 6 days
{{Age in years}} - returns a 2-year range; in 2022 someone born in 2000 may be either 21 or 22. Use {{ Age }} or {{ Years ago }} with a year parameter to return a single number of years {{ Age in years and days }}
{{age in weeks and days|1946|6|14|1946|8|19}} → 9 weeks and 3 days {{age in weeks and days|1946-6-14|1946-8-19}} → 9 weeks and 3 days {{age in weeks and days|14 June 1946|Aug 19, 1946}} → 9 weeks and 3 days {{age in weeks and days|month1=11|day1=07|year1=2012}} → 629 weeks and 6 days {{age in weeks and days|7 November 2012}} → 629 ...
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 ...
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.
The mean tropical year is 365.24219 days long. [19] A commonly used value in Lilius's time, from the Alfonsine tables, is 365.2425463 days. [13] As the average length of a Julian year is 365.25 days, the Julian year is almost 11 minutes longer than the mean tropical year. The discrepancy results in a drift of about three days every 400 years.
The administrative year consisted of 12 months of exactly 30 days each. In the 4th and 3rd millennia BCE, extra months were occasionally intercalated (in which case the year is 390 days), but by the beginning of the 2nd millennium BCE it did not make any intercalations or modifications to the 360-day year. [3]
The basic approach of nearly all of the methods to calculate the day of the week begins by starting from an "anchor date": a known pair (such as 1 January 1800 as a Wednesday), determining the number of days between the known day and the day that you are trying to determine, and using arithmetic modulo 7 to find a new numerical day of the week.
