Compare Dates

Category: Analysis Tools

DATE COMPARISON: Compare TWO dates to understand temporal distance and significance. Returns time difference (days/hours), observances on each date, shared observances, and which is more culturally significant. Use this when user mentions TWO dates and wants comparison. NOT for single date analysis (use analyze_temporal_context) or simple 'how long until' (use query_time).
