The three primary types of calendars are the solar, lunar and lunisolar. Calendars that are based on the earth's revolution around the sun without regard for the moon's monthly cycle, like the Gregorian calendar used in most if not all Christian countries, are called solar calendars. Calendars that are based only on the moon's revolution around the earth without compensation for the seasonal effects of the earth's solar orbit, like the Hijra used in Islamic countries, are called lunar calendars. Lunisolar calendars, like the Jewish calendar, have months that start at the times of the new moon but also periodically (seven times every nineteen years) add leap months in an attempt to stay in sync with the solar cycle as well.

How are calendars different from each other?
Calendars differ primarily in their structure and basis for timekeeping. Some, like the Gregorian calendar, are solar-based and focus on the Earth's orbit around the Sun, while others, such as the lunar calendar, track the phases of the Moon. Additionally, cultural and religious factors influence how calendars are organized, leading to variations in the number of months, days, and names of the months across different systems. These differences reflect diverse historical, astronomical, and societal contexts.
