When is the religious Buddhist festival Wesak celebrated?
Wesak Day is on the 15th day (full moon) of the 4th Lunar Month. In the Lunar calender there is a possiblility of leap month (just like a leap year in the universal calender, i.e. every 4 years). However the leap month of a Lunar calender is determined by an almaniac (not every four or every two years basis). In such circumstances there is a possiblity of having double 2nd Lunar month or a double 4th lunar month and so on. So if there is a double 4th lunar month, then Wesak will be internationally accepted on the 4th lunar month on the 15th day (full moon) in the month of May of the universal calender and in most cases on the first 4th lunar month.
Why does not earth experience a lunar eclipse every month?
Eclipses do not happen every month because the Moon is in an orbit that is inclined to the plane of the Earth's orbit, the ecliptic. So although the Moon passes behind the Earth (as seen from the Sun) every month, it usually passes above or below the Earth's shadow. For a lunar eclipse, Full Moon has to occur when the Moon is crossing the ecliptic, when it is said to be at a node.
What does the moon do around the earth once every month?
The moon orbits the Earth approximately once every month, which is known as its lunar month or synodic month. This is the time it takes for the moon to complete a full cycle of its phases, from new moon to full moon and back to new moon.
Is the Chinese year based on the cycles of the moon?
Yes, the Chinese calendar follows the lunar cycles. This is why the start of every Chinese (lunar) month always coincides with a new moon and why the 15th day of each Chinese month always coincides with a full moon.
Why isn't there a lunar eclipse every month?
A lunar eclipse doesn't happen every month because the Moon's orbit is tilted relative to Earth's orbit around the Sun. This means that most of the time, the Moon passes above or below Earth's shadow, so a lunar eclipse only occurs when the alignment is just right.
