There is only one month with 4 weeks and that is Feb. That is only if its not a leap year. All the rest have 4 week 2 days or 4 weeks 3 days. Which i'm sure you must of realised. But the moon takes 4 weeks from full moon to full moon.

Let's explain it this way:
>> 7 days make a week.
>> A month has either 30 days,31 days or 28/29 days.
>>Obviously, whatever is the number of days in every month, you can complete only 4 weeks thus we use to say a month has 4 weeks.
>> That 4 weeks in a month is composed of 28 days only and there are remaining 2 days ( in months of Sept.,April,June and Nov.) or 3 remaining days (in months of Jan.,March,May,Jul.,Aug., Oct.,Dec.).
>>The total remaining days are all 8+21=29 days.That would make another 4 weeks and an extra day.
>> The 4 weeks made up out of the extra days + the monthly count of 48 weeks make the 52 weeks. Thus a year has 52 weeks and a day or two extra.
A shortcut of calculating the number of weeks per year is dividing the total number of days by 7. (365 or 366 divided by 7 will give you 52 and an extra day or two.)

January 31days
February 28 days (29 on leap years)
March - 31 days
April -30 days
May - 31 days
June - 30 days
July - 31 days
August - 31 days
September - 30 days
October- 31 days
Novemeber - 30 days
December - 31 days
52>48 weeks
there are 365.242199+1 day each leap year divide how many days in a week and get 52.32031414 and that equals 52 weeks.

4 x 7 = 28
29 days of all moths that have 30 or 31 days
so 29 divided by 7 = 4
AND 48 + 4 = 52 weeks in a year
BUT it would be easier if you just divide 365 by 7 = 52.14

because most months have 31 or 30 days in them which is 2-3 more days than the amount of days in 4 weeks. After 11 months these extra days add up to about 4 extra weeks

You can get your laugh on now because I am going to answer this one...
There is merely one month (February) that harbors 28 days (which is how many days each would solely need in order to make up a 48 week year), the remaining 11 months have two to three days that follow 28. If you add up the "extra" days that do show their faces, voila....................... we have 52 weeks!!!!!

Because a month isn't 4 weeks, it's 4 and a bit. And we save up the bits and shove em to the end of the year to make it last a bit longer cos we're always complaining that time flies by too fast and hasn't the year flown by? Can't believe it's been so long since Christmas! We're it all gone!
It was a nice idea but it didn't work, but now we're stuck with all these lost bits of weeks and have to put up with them hanging around in December so as not to hurt their feelings.

A year is the approximate time that it takes the earth to orbit the sun (and must be adjusted every four years during leap year to be more nearly correct). A month (where month stems from moon) is the approximate time it takes the moon to orbit the earth going through all its phases from new moon to new moon. A week is seven days based on 7 rotations of the earth. Therefore, an exact week, month and year depend upon the motion of heavenly bodies that man can only approximate to make calendars and appointments, etc.

There are not exactly four weeks in a month. Count it!
And the reason that we have leap years is because a year is 364 and 1/4 days long... random info lol.

The cycle of a month is based on the orbit of the moon. Actually it is simpler to think of there being 4.33 weeks in a month, because some months have 5 weeks, but if you average it, it comes out to 4.33 weeks in a month (i.e. 52/12= 4.333333).
