Approximately 12, but 12 lunar months are a little less than a solar year. In China, both lunar and solar calendars are used, but the lunar New Year does not fall on the same date of the solar year all the time. Occasionally they have a 13th lunar month to bring them back into alignment.

How is the Hebrew year measured according to biblical times?

The traditional Jewish year is solar and lunar. It contains twelve lunar months, each month beginning at or very near to the new moon. It is kept in sync with the solar year by adding an extra lunar month every two or three years. It is also divided into days (sundown to sundown) and seven-day weeks. Every seventh year is a Shemittah (see the definition and laws in Leviticus ch.25), and the fiftieth year is a Yovel (ibid).


How does the lunar calendar relate to math?

The lunar calendar is based on the phases of the Moon, specifically the time it takes for the Moon to complete a full cycle of phases, which is approximately 29.5 days. This cyclical nature involves mathematical calculations to determine the start of each month and align it with the solar year, which is about 365.25 days. As a result, various mathematical methods, including division and modular arithmetic, are used to reconcile the lunar months with the solar calendar, leading to adjustments like intercalary months in some lunar calendars. Thus, math plays a crucial role in structuring and maintaining the lunar calendar.


How many months did the Aztecs have on their calendar?

They didn't have months as such, like periods based on the lunar cycle. Within their year they had periods of about 20 days, which would be the closest idea of a month. There were 18 of these periods, so you could say that they had 18 months in their year.

The period of difference between a solar year (365 days) and a lunar year (354 days) is roughly 11 days. This is why lunar calendars (based on the moon's phases) need to add intercalary months to stay in sync with solar calendars (based on Earth's orbit around the sun).
