Day of the year explained
January 1 is day 1, so the day number is the count of days so far including today. Full days passed is one less, because today is still in progress. Example: October 16 in a common year is 31 + 28 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 30 + 31 + 31 + 30 + 16 = day 289; in a leap year every date from March 1 on is one higher, so October 16 is day 290.
The day of the year is also called the ordinal date, and some people call it the Julian date. See today's Julian date for the formats used on food packaging and in the military.
