Conversion from Month (mo) to Day (d) and vice versa

Here you can convert the Unit of time Month into the unit Day and vice versa you can convert Day into Month. By clicking the "Swap units" icon, you will always obtain the desired conversion in the calculation result, i.e., mo to d or d to mo. With the following calculator you can also calculate any other Unit of time.

Info about "Month"

A month forms the time span of 28, 29, 30 or 31 consecutive days. Due to its varying length, the month is not a physical unit of time and thus not a unit of time in the international SI system of units.

To enable a general conversion, e.g. into seconds, minutes or years, the average length of the month in days is is defined: Since a year consists of 12 months, a normal calendar year with 365 days results in a month length of 365 / 12 = 30,416667 days

In astronomical terms, a month is defined as the period of one complete revolution of the moon. Depending on the definition, the lunar month averages a little more than 28 days.

Info about "Day"

Although the day (d) (Latin: dies) is not part of the International SI System of Units, it is indirectly approved for use with the SI through its definition that a day has 24 hours of 60 minutes a 60 seconds, is indirectly permitted for use with the SI. This is because the second forms the official SI base value.

Thereby 1 day equals 24 × 60 = 86,400 seconds 1 second therefore equals 0.0000115741 days.

For thousands of years, the astronomical day, i.e. the time from sunrise to sunrise again, was the historical basic unit for time. The first reliable time measurements were made by the Egyptians in daylight using sundials, which they divided into 12 units according to their usual system of twelve numbers. according to their usual twelve-number system. At night, they used the position of 12 stars to measure the time at night. It was not yet so important that days were longer in summer than in winter. Basically, the day and the night were divided into twelve time periods. It was only later, a good 2,000 years ago, that Greek astronomers divided the day into hours of equal length.

The day as the basis for time was not replaced by the second until the middle of the 20th century. It was proven, among other things, by means of modern quartz clocks that the astronomical day, i.e. one revolution of the Earth, is constantly becoming somewhat slower. This confirmed the assumption that, for example, magma shifts beneath the earth's mantle and also the tides slow down the Earth's rotation. Therefore, since 1956, the second has been defined in such a way that it is measured by an atomic clock and a leap second must be added to the calendar year every 2 to 5 years. This is why a day that is actually 86,400.003 atomic seconds long, is always 86,400 seconds long, and from time to time it has a one-off 86,401 seconds.
