How Long is a Fortnight in Days?

Answer – A fortnight is equal to 14 days.

Explanation: 

The word “fortnight” comes from the Old English feowertyne niht, which literally means “fourteen nights.” A fortnight describes a period of two weeks. Since there are seven days in a week, a fortnight consists of 14 days.

For example: The new furniture is expected to arrive in a fortnight.
