Step 1: Understanding the Calendar
November 11 is a fixed date, meaning it occurs every year on the same month and day. The day of the week changes each year because a standard year is 365 days, which is not evenly divisible by 7 (365 ÷ 7 = 52 weeks and 1 day). That extra day causes the weekdays to “shift” each year. Leap years, which have 366 days, add an additional day, causing the weekday to shift by two days instead of one.
Step 2: Identifying Leap Years
A leap year occurs every four years, except for years divisible by 100, unless they are divisible by 400. For example:
- 2024 is a leap year.
- 2025 is not a leap year.
This is important because 2024 being a leap year affects how the weekdays move into 2025.
Step 3: Determining the Day of the Week
One way to find the day is to use known reference points. For instance, january 1, 2025, is a Wednesday. Each subsequent month progresses based on the number of days in the month:
- January: 31 days → 31 mod 7 = 3 → february 1 is Saturday
- February: 28 days → 28 mod 7 = 0 → march 1 is Saturday
- March: 31 days → 31 mod 7 = 3 → april 1 is Tuesday
- April: 30 days → 30 mod 7 = 2 → May 1 is Thursday
- May: 31 days → 31 mod 7 = 3 → june 1 is Sunday
- June: 30 days → 30 mod 7 = 2 → July 1 is Tuesday
- July: 31 days → 31 mod 7 = 3 → august 1 is Friday
- August: 31 days → 3 → september 1 is Monday
- September: 30 days → 2 → october 1 is Wednesday
- October: 31 days → 3 → november 1 is Saturday
From november 1 (Saturday), counting forward 10 days to november 11 gives:
- November 1 → Saturday
- November 2 → Sunday
- November 3 → Monday
- November 4 → Tuesday
- November 5 → Wednesday
- November 6 → Thursday
- November 7 → Friday
- November 8 → Saturday
- November 9 → Sunday
- November 10 → Monday
- November 11 → Tuesday
Step 4: Verification
By carefully counting, we see that november 11, 2025, indeed falls on a Tuesday.
Step 5: Contextual Note
This is notable because november 11 is observed as Veterans Day in the united states and Remembrance Day in other countries. In 2025, people celebrating will mark it on a Tuesday, which might affect school schedules, workplaces, and ceremonies if they normally occur on weekdays.
So, through careful calculation of days and leap year considerations, November 11, 2025, will be a Tuesday.
