An astronomical year equals approximately 365,242 days.
According to the Gregorian calendar that we use, it was accepted as 1 year 365
days, but according to the astronomical calendar, we added 6 hours and 4 years
once in February. Meanwhile, a leap year occurs once every 4 years. February is
affected once every 4 years and the number of days in February becomes 29. The
Gregorian calendar is the calendar in current use in the Western world, both as
a Christian civil and ecclesiastical calendar. Instituted by Pope Gregory XIII
in 1582, the calendar has 365 days with an extra day every four years (the leap
year) except in years divisible by 100 but not divisible by 400. Thus, the
calendar year has an average duration of 365, 2422 days. The Gregorian calendar
replaced the Julian calendar, which had been 10 days out of sync with the solar
cycle. In October 1582, 10 days were removed from the calendar. England and the
American colonies were slow to adopt the calendar. In 1752, 11 days fell.
Calculation of weeks in a year
A year has approximately 52 weeks. A common calendar year
has 365 days:
1 common year = 365 days = (365 days) / (7 days / week) =
52,143 weeks = 52 weeks + 1 day
A calendar leap year occurs every 4 years, except for years
that are divisible by 100 and not divisible by 400.
A calendar leap year has 366 days, when February has 29
days:
1 leap year = 366 days = (366 days) / (7 days / week) =
52,286 weeks = 52 weeks +2 days
A calendar year has more than 52 weeks, but the remaining
weeks are incomplete. A calendar year begins on the first day of January and
ends on the last day of December. If the first day of January is Saturday, the
next week starts on the second day of January. In such a situation, if it is a
leap year, the last day of December is also a new week. Technically, this makes
54 weeks in the calendar year. Such situations are rare; the calendar year 2000
had 54 weeks. 1 year is the time it takes for the earth to go around the sun.
But since the Earth spins on its axis and we call one of those spins a day, we
can give a measurement in days and therefore weeks quite accurately. We all
know that there are 7 days in a week. But I've always wondered why people say
there are 52 weeks in a year.
After all, 52 * 7 is only 364 and we all know that there are 365 days in a
non-leap year and 366 days in a leap year. Therefore, there are always more
than 52 weeks in a year. Sometimes 52 weeks 1 day (non-leap year). Sometimes 52
weeks and 2 days (leap year).
