Ramadan is based on the Islamic lunar calendar because the lunar year is about 10-12 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar, which is based on the solar year. This causes Ramadan to shift by about 10-12 days earlier each year in the Gregorian calendar.
The Aztec lunar calendar consisted of 18 months, each with 20 days, totaling 360 days. Additionally, there were 5 extra days known as "nameless days" or "unlucky days," making the entire calendar year 365 days. This system reflects the Aztec's intricate understanding of time and astronomy.
A lunar month is based on the time it takes for the moon to pass through all its phases, approximately 29.5 days, while a calendar month is a unit of time used in the Gregorian calendar, ranging from 28 to 31 days. Due to the difference in length, lunar months do not align perfectly with calendar months, resulting in variations in the timing of lunar events such as full moons.
The exact number of full moons fluctuates by year, as the lunar calendar is only roughly twenty nine days long. In 2013, there will be twelve full moons.
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.
Twelve months of a lunar calendar total 354 days.
A typical lunar calendar has either 354 or 355 days in a year. This is about 10 to 11 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar.
A lunar calendar year typically has about 354 days. Over 19 lunar years, this totals approximately 6,726 days (19 x 354). If an extra month is added 7 times, that adds about 30 days (as a lunar month averages around 30 days), resulting in a total of approximately 6,756 days. Thus, there are about 6,756 days in 19 lunar calendar years with the extra month included.

"The Islamic calendar, Muslim calendar or Hijri calendar is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 lunar months in a year of 354 or 355 days. Being a purely lunar calendar, it is not synchronized with the seasons. With an annual drift of 10 or 11 days, the seasonal relation repeats about every 33 Islamic years." Source- Wikipedia.
Due to its dependance on the lunar movements, the Hijra calendar year is a shorter than the Gregorian calendar by about ten days which means that there are usually 355 days in a Hijra calendar.
About five and a half calendar months and almost six lunar months.
