There are 365 days in a year because that's how long it takes the earth to circumrotate the sun once
So what's the significance of 30 days in a month?
Why are there 30 days in a month?

its all made up
What do you mean by it all?
They're just numbers assigned to observed events
The full moon cycle takes 29.5 days
That's my guess, it's usually 12 full moons in a year, so maybe people just divided a year into 12 parts
This. Months are named after the moon. Moonths - months coming originally for the Germanic word for the moon.
Blame Rome. The months were a lunar cycle calendar squeezed into a solar cycle calendar. Because of corruption in the senate to extend people’s days in office by adding and subtracting days to the months Cesar Augustus standardized the calendar in order to stop the corruption. It was adjusted once in the 16th century to account for sidereal drift and again more recently.
>Cesar Augustus standardized the calendar in order to stop the corruption.
Wrong Caesar, our calendar system was created and instituted by the initiative of Julius Caesar (with a very slight modification by Pope Gregory XIII about 1600 years later.) You might be thinking it was Augustus because there's a month named after him; the names of the months and Sextilis and Quintilis were renamed to honor Julius Caesar and Caesar Augustus in 44BC and 8BC respectively.
That's nice nerds, but did you know that it's the first day of the year 2016 in Ethiopia today?
I can barely tell you were Ethiopia is on a map. Irrelevant shithole.
You are aggressively American
That's right.
It's a israeli trvthnvke
What does it mean?
some simp pharaoh made the length of womens menstrual cycle onto a time unit so that he knew when to sex his women and have lil babies, I know shit sucks
Oh shit
In some financial schemes there are even more or even less days than that. The [israelite] just wants you to believe that days of month is somehow related to some celestial chunk of mud and debris, a literal pie in the sky.
The israeli religion has nothing to do with things like that, what could they possibly gain from this?
You must be new here. These retards all believe israelites control everything.
No, I've seen a lot of replies like this.
I've used 4c for 3 years.
I would just really appreciate if some of these dumbasses could explain wtf do they mean
The Calendar was created by Romans, specifically under the direction of Julius Caesar. The names of the months predate the Julian/Georgian calendar, but come from Rome's previous calendar system which is otherwise no longer used.
Furthermore the names are NOT derived from any sort of zodiac or constellation system. They're named mostly after gods and numbers:
>January
Janus, the god of beginnings and ends, gets the first month as January. This doesn't correspond to any constellation of "pie in the sky", it's the first month because the name for the god of beginnings is a fitting name for the first month.
>February
derives from the name of some religious rituals, not a constellation.
>March
Comes from the god of war Mars; Mars is also associated with a PLANET not a constellation. Planets do not have fixed points in the sky, they never stay fixed in one constellation.
>April
Derived from the Latin word for "open", because during this month spring starts and plants open up. Named for the season, not anything celestial.
>May
Named for a goddess of fertility. A fitting name for May, unrelated to any constellation Based on the season, not the stars.
>June
Named either after the god Juno, or after a latin word meaning young people. Nothing celestial.
> July.
Named to honor Julius Caesar. Was originally named Quintilis, which means the fifth month. It is not the fifth month under this calendar system, but it was under the system from which this name originated. Nothing to do with the sky.
> August
Same deal as July, this time named for Augustus Caesar. Originally named Sextilis, meaning 6th.
>September
Means 7th month. It's named after a number, not anything in the sky.
>October
8th
>November
9th
>December
10th.
Nice post but he did say "days of [the] month" not "name of the month"
The israelites had nothing to do with how many days are in each month.
No, of course not, but the Moon did (which is exactly what he's denying, actually)
we should get rid of months entirely and just number the days from 1 to 365/366
Nobody is stopping you count like that. In fact a lot of companies don't use months but week number out of total weeks in the year.
Kodak used a variation of this as their calendar for a long time. People living in towns with large Kodak facilities has to get accustomed to both calendars.
THIS!!!! Those retards saying theres only 12 moons in a year are entirely ZOGged. We have 13 and we have always gone by a 13 month calendar. Its just nature and it works perfectly. Every day of the week falls on the same number every month so it would erase a ton of headache figure out what date on what day something falls on. This world is ass backwards so naturally anything that makes perfect sense is suppressed and thrown away.
>>THIS!!!! Those retards saying theres only 12 moons in a year are entirely ZOGged. We have 13 and we have always gone by a 13 month calendar.
Wrong. There are 12 and a third lunar cycles in a solar year. Closer to 12 than to 13.
Furthermore these
have nothing to do with the moon.
Ethiopia has 13 month years. Ethiopian global super power when?
the serpent is the 13th constellation
It used to be 28, but the secret 13th month was abolished by order of Emperor Constantine after he converted to Christianity.
Why did he do that?
How is it related to Christianity?
Not trying to mock, just really curious
He's memeing, but it was Pope Gregory XIII who gave us our modern calendar, which is a modification of the Julian calender instituted by Julius Caesar, which replaced the old Roman calender which was just... a mess
What's funny is they didn't keep track of the days after winter solstice. There was this dead zone that was just "winter" and they started counting again at the Spring equinox.
augustus and julius screwed up "sept", "oct", "nov","dec" - ember
The original Roman calendar was lunar, and as such needed constant maintenance by priests to keep it in line with the solar year.
Caesar basically neglected his duty as Pontifex Maximus for nearly a decade and as a result the calendar was out by a whole season (which Caesar actually used to his advantage during the civil war).
His solution was brilliant - adopt a calendar that essentially ran on autopilot, and didn't need revision for ~1600 years (and that adjustment was minor).
>caring about nagger countries.
This isn't reddit.
match angles of the constellations, they also change with the ecliptic which is why there are leap years etc
En gegi, en garlic, en gaga
There are two incompatible natural time cycles: lunar month and solar year. The calendar system tries to merge them.
How much smaller would the Earth need to be for every there to be 28 day months?
In the Bible, a month was based on the lunar cycle, and a year was roughly based on the solar cycle but since you can't fit twelve lunar cycles perfectly into one solar cycle, they would insert an extra month every year based on the aviv barley in Israel. The seven-day week cycle that was instituted at creation is still the same we have today.
Kodak used to use a 13 month system, with 28 day months and an extra day
there arnt
There are 365.25 days in a year
