Other ways to count the weeks of 2021

Counted as whole blocks of seven days inside the calendar year, 2021 is 365 = 52 × 7 + 1, that is 52 weeks and 1 day. Both are true: the numbered ISO weeks are whole, so the first and the last of them may borrow days from the neighbouring years.

In the US numbering (weeks from Sunday, week 1 is the week that contains January 1) 2021 has 52 weeks, and week 1 starts on Sunday, December 27, 2020.
