Common year starting on Saturday facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

A common year starting on Saturday is a special kind of calendar year. It's a year that isn't a leap year (so it has 365 days instead of 366), and its first day, January 1, falls on a Saturday.

Knowing this helps us understand the pattern of calendars. For example, in the Gregorian calendar, years like 1977, 1983, 1994, 2005, 2011, and 2022 all started on a Saturday and were common years. In the Julian calendar, 2017 and 2023 are examples.
