But as said above, One Year = 52 weeks. Just think, if you were counting your age in months, you would think that is 13 months a year @4 weeks per month. lol
I think this is sort of why parents of human and animal babies eventually transistion from giving the baby's age from weeks then months then years. |
And then add in the lunar calendar! LOL But your explanation is pretty good. My dad told me a story once when I was a kid. He said his co worker asked him why we celebrated Chinese New year on a different day every year. My dad said we don't. Actually we celebrate it on the exact same day every year. It's the Roman calendar that celebrates it on a different day every year! A [lunar] month is 28 days.
