What are Month and Year

A month is a unit of time, traditionally based on the natural period related to the motion of the Moon. The exact definition can vary, but it typically refers to a period roughly close to the length of a natural lunar cycle, which is approximately 29.5 days. In the Gregorian calendar, a month can range from 28 to 31 days, depending on the specific month and whether it's a leap year.

A year is a time unit that represents the time it takes for the Earth to complete one full orbit around the Sun. This period equates to about 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 45 seconds, or 365.2425 days on average. In the Gregorian calendar, this is adjusted by the addition of a leap day every four years to maintain alignment with Earth's position in its orbit.
