What are Year and Month

A year is a unit of time, traditionally based on the Earth's orbit around the Sun. It is commonly understood to be an interval of 365 days or 12 months, however, a true solar year, the time it takes for the Earth to complete its orbit around the Sun, is approximately 365.25 days. This slight discrepancy is the reason leap years exist, adding an extra day every four years to align the calendar year with the solar year.

A month is a unit of time used with calendars that is approximately related to the natural period related to the motion of the Moon. The traditional concept arose with the cycle of Moon phases, and such months (lunations) are synodic months and last approximately 29.53 days. From excavated tally sticks, researchers have deduced that people counted days in relation to the Moon's phases as early as the Paleolithic age. A calendar month takes after this natural period but is usually of 30 or 31 days, with the exception of February in the Gregorian calendar.
