Days

The day is defined for civil timekeeping as exactly 86,400 seconds (24 hours). Two definitions coexist in astronomy: the solar day (averaging 86,400 seconds) and the sidereal day (approximately 86,164 seconds — 4 minutes shorter), as Earth must rotate slightly more than 360° to bring the Sun back to the same sky position due to its orbital motion. In medicine, the circadian rhythm operates on a near-24-hour cycle tightly coupled to the solar day.

Fortnights

A fortnight is a unit of time equal to exactly 14 days (1,209,600 seconds), or two weeks. The word is a contraction of "fourteen nights" from Old English. It is still widely used in British English, particularly in employment law (wages paid fortnightly), rental agreements, and magazine publication schedules. The fortnight has no equivalent single word in most other languages, making it a distinctly British measurement unit.
