About months and days

Month (mo)

1 mo = 30.4375 d

Definition. About 30.44 days on average — a twelfth of a 365.25-day year, not a calendar month (which runs 28 to 31 days)

History and origin

The month began as the period of the lunar phases, about 29.5 days, but calendar months were fixed at 28 to 31 days to fit twelve into a year. For conversions an average month is taken as a twelfth of a year, about 30.44 days.

Current use

Months organise the calendar, billing cycles and subscriptions, and count durations such as pregnancies and projects.

Source: IAU/ISO 80000-3 Julian year: 1 a = 365.25 d exactly, a convention for expressing durations. The average month here is that year divided by 12. Neither is an SI unit.

Day (d)

1 d = 0.0328542 mo

Definition. Exactly 24 hours (86 400 seconds)

History and origin

The day is based on one rotation of the Earth and is fixed for timekeeping at exactly 24 hours, or 86 400 seconds. The natural day varies slightly, so a mean value is used.

Current use

Days are the basic unit of the calendar and of everyday durations.

Source: BIPM SI Brochure (2019); the second is defined by the caesium-133 transition

Where people use this

Months: durations, billing and subscriptions. Days: calendars, durations. A month is about 30.44 days on average.

How we know this is right
The factor is fixed by the standards that define the units, not chosen — so it is exact, not a measurement:
1 d = 0.03285420945 mo, so 1 mo = 1 ÷ 0.03285420945 = 30.4375 d.

Every value is carried to full double precision; the display is rounded.
