A calendar is a system of organizing days. This is done by giving names to periods of time, typically days, weeks, months and years. [ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ] A date is the designation of a single and specific day within such a system. A calendar is also a physical record (often paper) of such a system.
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 September 2024" is ten days after "15 September 2024". The date of a particular event depends on the observed time zone.
