It is 699,952 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date.

Or 1916 years, 4 months, 24 days excluding the end date.

Or 22996 months, 24 days excluding the end date.

60,475,852,800 seconds
1,007,930,880 minutes
16,798,848 hours
699,952 days
99,993 weeks and 1 day

Thank God for duration calculators!

My source for information about times and dates, including calculating intervals, is here:

https://www.timeanddate.com/

I once had to look up what day of the week a date fell on in August 1308 (or thereabouts), and timeanddate.com told me. That’s also where I print out my one-sheet calendars to schedule hair appointments, check phases of the moon, and find out when certain holidays fall. Great site.

Does that website correct for Gregorian change in 1752? (when 11 days were skipped in the movement from the Julian calendar?

And don’t forget the once every century leap year is skipped – except if the year is evenly divisible by 400.

^Only after the Gregorian calendar was adopted. The year 2000 was the first one to have the 400 year applied, which few people noticed, because they just treated it as a regular leap year.

Why did you ask? It’s a very curious question.

You know, it seems to me that any deity worth his balls would have made this whole thing evenly divisible you know? So we didn’t have leap years or leap seconds or 400 year corrections.

Just sayin’

@rojo The deity couldn’t figure out how to violate the laws of physics.
The Earth’s rotation is slowly winding down due to friction, magnetic fields, heat loss, atmospheric conditions, and other forces. Imperceptibly, the days get longer so periodically we must add a second to the day. About 10 years ago my son and I videotaped the addition of one second. I had the clock on my camera synched with the voice of WWV. After they added the second we were one second off. Fun! (The nerd doesn’t fall from the tree!)

Here’s a good reference .

Oh that is so great @LuckyGuy! And that is one Lucky Son. You’re doing awesome science things with your son, and here I am trying to figure out how to put my kids in a wall. :( No wonder I don’t have any confidence.
