What are Year and Month

A year is a unit of time that typically refers to the period of time it takes for the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun. In the Gregorian calendar, which is widely used today, a year is generally defined as 365 days. However, to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical year, there's a leap year every four years, which has 366 days. The concept of a year is used across different cultures and calendars, with variations in its calculation and length.

A month is a division of the year, based on the orbit of the Moon around the Earth. While the concept of a month is derived from the Moon's orbit, in the Gregorian calendar, months do not exactly correspond to lunar cycles. There are twelve months in a year, each with a unique name and varying in length from 28 to 31 days. The months serve as a convenient way to divide the year for the purpose of dating events, planning, and organizing activities.

History of Year and Month

The concept of converting leap years to months has its roots in the need to synchronize calendar years with astronomical events. Historically, different calendars have approached leap years differently, but the modern method typically adds one extra day to February every four years, creating a 366-day year. This conversion tool translates these leap years into their equivalent number of months.
