What are Day and Fortnight

Definition of Day

A day is a unit of time commonly recognized as 24 hours or 1440 minutes. It is based on the Earth's rotation on its axis, which constitutes a single cycle of daytime and nighttime. This measurement is widely accepted across the globe as a standard unit for organizing daily activities, schedules, and events.

Definition of Fortnight

A fortnight is a unit of time that spans 14 days or two weeks. The term is derived from the Old English phrase 'feowertyne niht', meaning 'fourteen nights'. Fortnights are commonly used in the UK and other Commonwealth countries to measure longer periods of time, such as intervals between regular events or for planning purposes.
