No. There is the Gregorian calendar (used by Americans, Europeans, and Japanese), a Hebrew calendar, and a Muslim calendar at least. Here's a link to a Chinese calendar and an Indian calendar.

Where do you find a 1987 calendar?

Unless you are willing to pay what a calendar collector would charge, I would make it myself or use a calendar from a year that has the same date to day of the week relationship, like 2009 or 2015 (it was a non-leap year that started on a Thursday).


How does the calendar relate to the phazes of the moon?

Our calanders are based on the time taken for the earth to orbit the sun (1 year) and the time taken for the earth to spin once on it's axis (1 day). The phases of the moon, or the moon orbiting the earth, doesn't really come into it, but it takes around 29 days for the moon to orbit us.


How can you tell the time of year without looking at a calendar or clock (by looking at the sky)?

During the year, due to the earth's orbit, different constellations appear during different seasons. You can use the constellations to determine the time of year.


Can it be 6 o'clock on the earth at the same moment?

At the same moment as what, and where on the earth? If you're asking if it can be 6 o'clock everywhere on the Earth at the same time... it could, if we all decided to use, say, Coordinated Universal Time (aka GMT). But currently, the existence of time zones mean that different locations always have different times.


If Earth orbits the sun in one year which is the best object to use as a point of reference to describe earths orbit?

There are any number of such fixed reference points, but in real life the choices are made based on cultural or religious reasons rather than physical ones.Here are a few physical fixed reference points that one might use to base a calendar on.1. The winter solstice2. The summer solstice3. The Earth's perihelion (about January 4)4. The Earth's aphelion (about July 4).Of all the calendars in use on Earth, only one has is defined with any reference to an astronomical event, and it's pretty loosely connected; in the Hebrew calendar, Rosh Hashanah (the Jewish New Year) is at the New Moon closest to the fall equinox.

What year is it for the Mormons?

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.

Why would the sunrise align with the same point at the same time each year?

It doesn't, quite. But the difference in the direction of sunrise for the same date each year is so small that you can't really measure it. As to why the direction remains the same each year, it's because a commission appointed by Pope Gregory in 1582 set up the Gregorian calendar that way. The older Julian calendar (devised, legend says, by Julius Caesar) did not properly adjust the calendar for leap years, and by the year 1570, the conventional calendar in use by the Church was out of synchronization with the seasons. The Gregorian calendar properly adds leap days periodically to the calendar to keep the calendar aligned with the seasons. So, the same day of the year will correspond, within 3/4 of a day, to the position of the Earth in its orbit around the Sun.

What day do Seventh-day Adventists keep in countries using the ISO 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.
