The Gregorian calendar is the internationally accepted civil calendar. It was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII.
But there are other types of unofficial calenders used by some groups of people around the world.
* Calenders have public/bank/mercantile holidays marked on them specific to that country.
* In Sri Lanka, calendars have Full moon days marked on them, because Full moon days are public holidays.
* Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar, incorporating elements of a lunar calendar with those of a solar calendar.
* Islamic (Muslim/Hijri) calendar is a lunar calendar, used to date events in Muslim countries, by Muslims to determine the days to celebrate Islamic holy days and festivals.
no,. because in my country there are lot of islands and its used a different calender from each island to the other islands
Gregorian Calendar is used in all the countries of the world.
No. Some countries use different calendars. So for example you have a Hebrew calendar, a Chinese calendar, an Islamic calendar, a Hindu calendar and many others. For those that use the Gregorian calendar, the months are the same around the world.
The Hebrew calendar is used in Israel, and by Jews all over the world.
The Philippines uses the Gregorian calendar, which is the most widely used calendar system in the world. This calendar was introduced in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial period and has been in use ever since.
Countries in Europe use the Gregorian calendar.
Not a country, but Foula still uses the Julian calendar
The ISO calendar is primarily a fiscal calendar and does not change the names of the days of the week, although it does number them differently, starting with 1 on Monday and ending with 7 on Sunday, however Monday on the ISO calendar is also the same Monday on the Gregorian calendar (day 2) and the same Monday that is on the Jewish calendar. Shabbot (or Saturday) does not change. It is still on the same day. But all that is really not relevant, as the keeping of Shabbot is based on the command in the Torah which is based on the Hebrew calendar. So it would not matter what calendar was in use by any country, even if it did mess with the definition of the week, the Hebrew calendar remains the same.
Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) use the year or calendar that is common in their culture. This means that the vast majority (those in 'Western' countries and highly developed nations) use the Gregorian Calendar. Those in countries using a Lunar calander (some Asian and Middle-Eastern countries) use the calendar their nation or culture uses, but are familiar with the Gregorian calendar. So, for the Mormons, it's the same year as it is for everyone else, 2010.
They all use it in the same way.
No
This would be great if all the countries could agree but they can't.
The Euro is the same for all countries that use it, though one side of the coin is different in each country. All the notes are the same for all countries. You can still use those different coins in any of the countries that use the Euro. Not all countries in Europe use the Euro. There are over 50 countries in Europe. 28 of them are members of an organisation called the European Union. 18 of those 28 countries use the Euro as their currency.
