Question

???????????????

Answer 1

~The United States use so-called Solar calendar, like the most people on the planet. That calendar's characteristics are that the every day starts at midnight and the year has 12 months. It is called Gregorian calendar

~But, some people measure time by a lunar calendar. It is based on the phases of the moon. Their day begins at sunset. The new moon marks the start of the new month, so their month lasts 29 and one half days. There are 354 days in a lunar year. And this calendar is still used by Muslims....
I hope this helps you ;)

Answer 2

The Gregorian calendar is used in most English speaking countries, but world-ready products should also take into consideration other calendaring systems in use worldwide. For example, there are the Japanese, the Buddhist era, the Hijri, the Hebrew lunar, and the Taiwan calendars. One of the major differences between calendars is that each calendar could have a different year value. For example, the Gregorian year 2000 is the twelfth year in the Japanese Heisei era and the year 1421 in the Hijri calendar. The first day of the year might not start on January 1. The Chinese New Year was on February 5 of the Gregorian year 2000. The length of the year and months might also vary, as well as ways of handling leap years. Or even within the same calendar, the first day of the week might start on another day besides Sunday, depending on the culture. For instance, in most of the European countries that use the Gregorian calendar, the start of the week is Monday. Unlike English (United States), there are other locales that use more than one calendar type, such as Korean.

Answer 3

The U.S., like almost all of the people in the world today, use the Gregorian calendar for business. This is a "calculated" calendar -- it does not depend on what the sun and moon do.

Other calendars are used for religious purposes.

The Islamic calendars use the moon. For example, in Pakistan and Jordan, the first day of each month is the day (beginning at sunset) of the first sighting of the lunar crescent (the hilāl) shortly after sunset. If the hilāl is not observed immediately after the 29th day of a month, either because clouds blocked its view or because the western sky was still too bright when the moon set, then the day that began at that sunset was the 30th.

But ... other Islamic countries use other methods, so sometimes they are 2 or 3 (or even 4!) days different.

Answer 4

The US uses the Gregorian calendar, named for a Pope.

Islamic countries use a calandar that is based on lunar cycles.

All calendars come from some religion or other.
