One year of a lunar calendar has 12 months, but it's about 11 days shorter than one year of the Gregorian calendar.

A lunisolar calendar has months that are based on the cycle of the moon phases, but it also has leap years to keep the average length of a year close to the time it takes for the earth to orbit the sun. A regular year of a lunisolar calendar has 12 months, and a leap year has 13 months.
