About Days and Weeks
Days (day): 86,400 seconds exactly; corresponds approximately to one rotation of Earth on its axis (about 23 hours 56 minutes of sidereal time, with extra solar adjustment). Common uses: Calendar planning, weather forecasts, project timelines, and time periods longer than a few hours.
Weeks (wk): Seven days, an ancient convention with no astronomical basis (unlike the day, month, and year); standardized across most cultures despite no natural cause for the seven-day cycle. Common uses: Work cycles, paychecks, school schedules, and project planning in the 1-3 month range.
How the conversion works
Time uses fixed SI seconds. A day is exactly 86,400 seconds; a year (Julian) is 365.25 days = 31,557,600 seconds.
The exact relationship is weeks = days × 1.42857143e-1, which the calculator at the top of this page applies in both directions. Type into either field and the other updates immediately.
When this conversion matters
Converting between days and weeks comes up wherever time measurements move between systems — from one country's conventions to another's, from a scientific reference to a practical specification, or from one industry's working unit to another's. The calculator and reference table above cover the everyday range; for unusual values you can type any number into either field.
