Frequently asked questions
What year is it in other calendars?
It is 1448 AH in the Islamic calendar (since 16 June 2026), 5787 in the Hebrew calendar (since 12 September 2026), 1405 in the Persian calendar (since 21 March 2026), 2019 in the Ethiopian calendar (since 11 September 2026), 2569 in the Thai Buddhist calendar and Reiwa 8 in Japan. The Chinese Year of the Fire Horse began on 17 February 2026.
Why is the Julian calendar 13 days behind?
In the Julian calendar every fourth year is a leap year, so its year is 11 minutes longer than the solar year. The Gregorian reform of 1582 skipped 10 days and dropped 3 leap years every 400 years. Since 1 March 1900 the difference has been 13 days; from 1 March 2100 it will be 14. The Russian, Serbian and Georgian churches and Mount Athos still keep church holidays by the Julian calendar.
What are GPS time and TAI?
GPS time started on 6 January 1980 and does not add leap seconds, so it is now 18 seconds ahead of UTC. International Atomic Time (TAI) is 37 seconds ahead of UTC. Receivers count GPS time as a week number and the seconds since the start of the week (Sunday, 00:00).
What is sidereal time?
Sidereal time measures the Earth’s rotation relative to the stars rather than the Sun. A sidereal day lasts 23 h 56 min 4 s, so sidereal time gains about 3 min 56 s a day on solar time. Astronomers use it to know which stars are on the meridian: an object is highest in the sky when the local sidereal time equals its right ascension.
What is Swatch Internet Time?
A decimal time introduced by Swatch in 1998: the day is divided into 1,000 .beats of 1 min 26.4 s, counted from midnight in Biel, Switzerland (UTC+1, with no daylight saving time). @500 is noon in Biel.
