What descirbes a major difference between the Jewish calender and the gregorian calendar?
the jewish calendar began many centuries before before the Gregorian Calendar. Jewish answer The Jewish calendar consists of twelve lunar months. It also keeps in step with the solar year, by adding a thirteenth lunar leap-month seven times every nineteen years. The Gregorian calendar, which sticks to the solar year, ignores the lunar months and does not attempt to keep in step with them.
What happens on the 6th of December?
December 6 is the 340th day of the year (341st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. There are 25 days remaining until the end of the year.
In what country does six plus seven equal one?
6+7=13. In leap years, the Chinese Lunar Year has 13 months within the Gregorian Calendar Year. Therefore, SIX months PLUS SEVEN months EQUALS ONE year IN CHINA in a leap year.
Who follows the Gregorian calendar?
No one really, accept for extreme Orthodox Sects. The old Julian Calendar was used for around 1600 years or so, but it was off slightly so that after 1400 years, it was off by an entire Seasonal change. But in order to explain the reason one has to accept modern Astronomical theory, which many churches, especially the Orthodox church (didn't accept Gregorian until the rise of Communism) wouldn't do. Poor Copernicus found out the reason in the 1400's but he couldn't tell the Pope without getting Burned at the steak as a heretic for disagreeing with Aristotle. The Orthodox Church, being as stubborn as Catholics are, didn't accept this until the Communists made them change. Although Jews, Muslims, Budhists and Hindu's have their own religious calendars, the whole world due to western dominance, generally uses our 12 month, 365 day calendar which now says December 26, 2008. It should continue to be accurate for centuries more, being technically off by a few milliseconds a year.
What is the Muslim calendar based off of?
It's based on Hegira, the flight from Mecca to Medina in 622 when muslims start counting the years from this event. Annie Brisan
