Frequently Asked Questions
Is 6 weeks ago the same as 1 and a half months ago?
No, they're not the same. 1 and a half months ago would be March 17, 2025, while 6 weeks ago would be March 20, 2025 - about a 3-day difference. This occurs because months vary in length (28-31 days) while weeks are consistently 7 days.
How do I calculate 6 weeks ago in different time zones?
To calculate 6 weeks ago, subtract 42 days from today. This gives the same date globally since it’s based on days, not exact times.
Time zones only shift specific times (like a 3 PM meeting), but dates remain unaffected. So, the result will be consistent worldwide.
Does calculating 6 change in leap years?
No, because weeks are based on days, not months or years. Whether it’s a leap year or not, 6 weeks ago is still 42 days before today.
This is different from calculations involving months or years, which do need to account for leap years.
