I intend to write some text file in both windows and Unix (Ubuntu) but when i save it the file sizes are different, why is that so?

I intend to write the following text file in both windows and Unix (Ubuntu):

Today is Wednesday.
Tomorrow is Thursday.
End of File.

When I save it on Windows it is 56 bytes long. On Ubuntu it is 54 bytes long. Explain the difference please.

Traditionally, windows uses both \\r (carriage return) and \\n (line feed) to indicate end of line, while Linux uses only \\n. This could explain a difference, depending on how many newlines you had, and possibly the encoding of the file.",
