Can there be 53 weeks in a year?

Answer 1

No, there cannot be 53 weeks in a year in the standard Gregorian calendar system. A year is typically composed of 52 weeks, which is equivalent to 364 days. The remaining day makes up for the leap year day every four years.

Answer 2

There are 52 weeks and 1 day in a normal year and 52 weeks and 2 days in a leap year, so there is never 53 weeks in a year. However, because there are 52 full weeks and 1 day, that 1 extra day can be in a week 53, but is obviously not a full week. If a leap year starts on a Saturday, then there can be at least one day in each of 54 different weeks, but there are still only 52 full weeks in a year.
