The problem with writing a calendar that people can agree on is that natural cycles don't happen in neat and consistent patterns.

The day is 24 hours, and the year is 365.26 days long. The lunar cycle is 29.5 days long.

The traditional week of seven days is dictated by Judeo-Christian religious tradition - "God created the world in six days, and on the seventh He rested" - which has no relationship to astronomical cycles.

Since our 7-day week is social and religious, it doesn't fit neatly into astronomical cycles. January 1 is the first day of the year, but doesn't always match up with the first day of the week.

Well, that's obviously not exact.

52 (weeks) x 7 days (per week) is only 364 days.

There are 52 weeks plus one day in a year, usually.

There are 365 days in a year, with 366 days in a leap year.

If you look at calendars, you will see that the day of the week that January 1st is on changes each year.

The length of a year is based on the time for the Earth to orbit the Sun.

The exact length of that period is actually close to 365.2422 days.

That's why we use 365 days plus leap years.
