How many weeks in a year?

How many weeks in a year? The answer to this question is simple—52. The more complex answer is that there are 52 weeks in a year, but not every week has the same number of days. Some months have 30 days and others have 31, but they all add up to 365 total days every year. In addition, some countries have leap years (like 2020) where an extra day is added to February so there are 366 days that year instead of 365!

Why, you might ask? Why not 53? Well, the answer to that question is simple: because its a paltry number of weeks and not one that would impress your average farmer, who would be more likely to count the days until harvest than the days until Christmas or Easter.
