What is Day of Year?

Day of year (also called Julian day in some contexts) is a sequential count from 1 (January 1) to 365 or 366 (December 31). It provides a simple linear measure of time within a year.

This is widely used in agriculture for planting schedules, in astronomy for tracking celestial events, and in programming for date calculations.

Knowing the day number also helps you visualize how much of the year has passed and how much remains — great for annual goal tracking.
