How it works
The day of the year, sometimes called the ordinal date, numbers every day from 1 on January 1 to 365 on December 31, or 366 in a leap year. It is used in logistics, science, food production codes and some date stamps, where it's written as year plus day, for example 2026-307.
Some people call it the Julian date. Strictly, the Julian date is an astronomers' count of days since 4713 BC, but in everyday use, and on many product codes, it means this day number.
