What are Month and Decade

Definition of Month

A month is traditionally understood as a unit of time roughly corresponding to one cycle of the Moon's phases, which is about 29.53 days. This period, known as a synodic month, is the time it takes for the Moon to return to the same position relative to the Sun as seen from Earth. Variations like calendar months are used in civil life and typically range from 28 to 31 days.

Definition of Decade

A decade is a unit of time that spans ten years. It is commonly used as a measure for referencing periods in history or for denoting significant blocks of time in one's life, such as childhood or adolescence. The origin of the word is rooted in the Greek 'dekas', which means a group of ten. In terms of historical documentation, decades allow a structured division of time to analyze trends and patterns.
