The Calendar – Introduction al note of MCQs
A calendar is a system used to organize days for social, religious, commercial, or administrative purposes. It is based on astronomical events such as the solar year (Earth’s revolution around the Sun), the lunar month (Moon’s phases), or both. The Gregorian calendar, introduced in 1582, is the most widely used civil calendar today. Other types include the Julian, lunar, and lunisolar calendars, each reflecting different cultural or religious traditions. Understanding how calendars function helps us track time, celebrate events, and coordinate globally.
