Some facts#

  • Gregorian calendar (UTC*) - solar calendar introduced in 1582 by Gregory XIII pope. The base of this calendar is Julian calendar, which was used before. Made changes fixed delay related to tropical year. One year in Gregorian calendar has 365 days (or 366 for lap years) divided into 12 months. Name of the months were inherited from Julian calendar directly.
    *) UTC is an abbreviation of "Universal Time Coordinated" (Universal Coordinated Time). This calculator assumes that the time specified in the Gregorian calendar corresponds to the time zone "zero" (zero meridian, i.e. longitude 0, in London's Greenwich district).
  • UNIX timestamp - number of seconds from 1 January 1970 UTC. This date is known as begin of Unix epoch. This format is widely used to store time (and date) in UNIX family operating systems.
  • WINAPI timestamp - 64-bit timestamp used in Windows NT family OS-es. Also known as Active Directory timestamps, Win32 FILETIME, Win32 SYSTEMTIME, LDAP timestamp or NTFS time. Number of 100 nanosecond intervals since 1610-01-01.
  • Julian day - number of days from 1 January 4713 B.C., counted using Julian calendar. This date was determined by Joseph Scaliger in 1583 year. Julian days are widely used in astronomical calculations.
  • Modified Julian day - Julian day with start date moved to 17 November 1858 year. Modified Julian day can be simply computed from Julian day by subtracting 2400000,5 days from it.
  • Julian calendar - solar calendar invented by greck astronom Sosygenesa under Julius Cezar order. Introduced as official Rome calendar in 45 B.C. This calendar was widely used in whole Europe until Gregory calendar was invented in XVI century. Today, used for religious purposes - it's a base for liturgical year in the Orthodox Church.

The date is five digit number recorded in twenty system, which means the number of days from 11 August 3113 B.C. Digits have names (from most significant): baktuns (144000 days weight), katuns (7200 days weight), tuns (360 days weight), uinals (20 days weight) and kins (1 day weight).
  • Excel serial day (PC, 1900) - time representation format used internally in Microsoft Excel software on PC computers (Windows). It's a number of days from 1 January 1900.
  • Excel serial day (Macintosh, 1904) - variation of Excel serial day with begin date moved to 1 January 1904. This format is used on Macintosh computers, because early version of MacOS systems had no support for dates before 1904 year.
  • OLE Date - format used in Microsoft applications, it's number of days since 31 December 1989 stored as 64-bit floating-point number (double datatype in C language).
  • UUID timestamp - 60-bit timestamp used in UUID version 1 and 2. Number of 100 nanosecond intervals since 1582-10-15 i.e. the beginning of the Gregorian calendar.
