What are Month and Day

Definition of Month

A 'Month' is a unit of time traditionally based on the lunar cycle. It roughly corresponds to the period it takes for the Moon to complete one orbit around the Earth. This duration varies between 28 to 31 days depending on the calendar being used, with the Gregorian calendar averaging a month to about 30.44 days.

Definition of Day

A 'Day' is a fundamental unit of time, defined as the period it takes for the Earth to complete one full rotation on its axis. This is typically measured as a solar day, which is 24 hours. However, a sidereal day, which is the time it takes for the Earth to rotate once relative to the stars, is slightly shorter, approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds.
