Question 1

How many weeks are in a year?

Accepted Answer

A common year (365 days) has 52 weeks and 1 day (52.14 weeks). A leap year (366 days) has 52 weeks and 2 days (52.29 weeks). No year has exactly 52 weeks.

Question 2

Why isn't a year exactly 52 weeks?

Accepted Answer

52 weeks × 7 days = 364 days, which is 1 day short of 365. This means every year has 52 full weeks plus 1 extra day (2 in a leap year). This is why the same date falls on a different day of the week each year.
