About weeks and months

Week (wk)

1 wk = 0.229979 mo

Definition. Exactly 7 days

History and origin

The week is a seven-day cycle with ancient roots in Babylonian and Jewish tradition, tied to the seven classical planets and to religious observance. Unlike other time units it has no astronomical basis.

Current use

Weeks organise schedules and are used to count the length of pregnancies and projects.

Month (mo)

1 mo = 4.3482 wk

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.

Where people use this

Weeks: schedules, pregnancy and projects. Months: durations, billing and subscriptions. 40 weeks (a full-term pregnancy) is about 9.2 months.

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 mo = 4.348214286 wk, so 1 wk = 1 ÷ 4.348214286 = 0.229979 mo.
