The answer

Day 2 of 2028 is Sunday, January 2, 2028. 2028 is a leap year with 366 days, so this date is 364 days before the end of the year. It sits in ISO week 52, in quarter 1, and is 455 days from today.

How the day number is found

Day numbers count from January 1, which is day 1. January has 31 days, so February 1 is day 32; in a common year March 1 is day 60, and in a leap year it is day 61 because February has 29 days. The table above lists the first and last day number of every month in 2028, so you can check any result by hand.

Ordinal dates in practice

Day-of-year numbers, sometimes called ordinal or Julian dates, are used in logistics, military and aviation records, satellite data, manufacturing lot codes and food packaging. The format YYYY-DDD, for example 2028-002, is part of the ISO 8601 standard. Note that the ‘Julian date’ used by astronomers is a different system.

Checking your answer

Take the last day number of the month before and add the day of the month: January dates equal their day of the month, so day 2 is January 2.
