How Do I Convert Julian Date To Normal Date?

Julian dates (abbreviated JD) are actually a continuous count of days since the noon of Universal Time on January 1, 4713 BCE (on the Julian calendar). Julian dates are mostly used as time variables within any astronomical software.

There are some online sites which can help you convert Julian dates to normal dates. I have listed some of those links below:
