What are Decade and Month

Definition of Decade

A decade is a time period equivalent to 10 years. Historically, the term is derived from the Greek ‘dekas’ which means a group of ten. In the context of a human lifespan, a decade represents a significant chapter, often marked by personal growth, societal changes, or advancements in technology. In our calendar system, a decade can be any period of ten consecutive years, but it is commonly demarcated from years ending with 0 to years ending with 9, such as 2020 to 2029.

Definition of Month

A month is a unit of time traditionally corresponding to one cycle of the moon's phases, which takes approximately 29.53 days. This period, also known as a lunar month, is the basis for the synodic month, referring to the time it takes for the moon to return to the same position in the sky relative to the sun, as observed from Earth. The Gregorian calendar approximates this cycle with calendar months ranging from 28 to 31 days.
