About the year 1980

1980 began on a Tuesday and was a leap year, with 366 days and a 29 February. 17,027 days have passed since 1 January 1980.

Age in whole years only counts the birthday that has already happened. That is why two people born in the same year can be different ages today — and why the answer flips from 45 to 46 on the birthday itself.
