For the fictional reckoning of the World of Greyhawk, see Common Year (Greyhawk).
A common year is a common type of calendar year. It has exactly 365 days and so is not a leap year. More generally, it is a calendar year without intercalation.
A common year of 365 days has exactly 52 weeks and one day, so consequently the next new year is one day of the week later.
