How does a twelve month lunar calendar differ from your twelve month solar calendar?

A twelve month lunar calendar is based on the cycles of the moon, with each month following a complete lunar cycle of approximately 29.5 days. This type of calendar typically has around 354-355 days in a year. In contrast, a twelve month solar calendar, like the Gregorian calendar, is based on the Earth's orbit around the sun, with each month roughly following the natural seasons. This calendar has 365 days in a common year and 366 days in a leap year.

The length of modern calendar months varies because they are based on a combination of lunar and solar cycles.
