What is the difference between Gregorian calendar and Roman calendar?
The difference is the accuracy of mathematical computation of the length of the day, in essence. The Roman calendar was fairly accurate (considering the computation tools of the time, quite accurate), but over a period of many years, it was off by a period of (then) ten days. The Gregorian calendar proposal used more precise mathematics, and deduced that the calendar had lost ten days since the calendar of Rome was established. The calendar was jumped forward ten days (it's a long story). The current (Gregorian) calendar is accurate to about one day every several thousand years.

Did the Mayan calendar affect our modern calendar?
Not even remotely. The Mayan calenday was not only structured differently in terms of what we would call weeks/months/years, its dating system was completely different. The modern Gregorian calendar (which has only been in use a few hundered years) is based off a solar year (approximately 365 days) and lunar months (approximately 28 days, though this has since changed to the 30/31 days we now use) and used as its start date the approximate birth of Christ (day 1, month 1, year 1, 01/01/0001). However we know now that this date slid around quite a bit in the early periods of the church (modern estimates put the birth of Christ somewhere in August of 10-15 BC).

What calendars are based off the sun and moon?
Most calendars are in some way based on either the solar (Sun) or the lunar (Moon) cycle; some are based on both. Of the commonly used calendars:* The Gregorian calendar - the most widely used calendar worldwide - is based on the Sun. That is, the length of the year is based on the Sun; but the start of the year and the months is not related to any particular astronomical event.* The Jewish calendar is based on both the Moon and the Sun. As far as I know, it's the only widely used calendar that is based on BOTH. Some years have 12 months, others have 13 months.* The Muslim calendar is based on the Moon. A muslim year is about 11 days shorter than a Gregorian (solar) year.* Many other calendars are based on the Sun.

What is the difference between a solar calendar and a lunar calendar?
The solar calendar measures the time taken by the earth to rotate around the sun (approximately 365 and 1/4 days) divided up into 4 seasons based on the equinoxes (the times of year when the night and day are of equal duration) and the solstices (the point when the sun is in the highest or lowest point in the sky). The lunar calendar is based on the amount of time it takes the moon to move through all of its phases, from new moon to new moon (approximately 28 days). The solar calendar was favored by patriarchal societies while the lunar calendar was favored by matriarchal societies (as well as societies that tended to acknowledge an equal god and goddess). However, the Jewish people, with their one male god, did use the lunar calendar as well. The modern Gregorian calendar is actually a hybrid of both of these. Our year is 365 days, divided up into months based (loosely) off the 28 day lunar cycle.
