No. It has to do originally with the cycles of the moon, from which the word month derives. The moon's cycles are indepedent of the earth's rotation, or diurnal cycle.

Of course the calendar months are not of equal length, and no longer closely follow the lunar cycles. The lengths of the calendar months changed from time to time for political rather than for astronomical reasons. even though some cultures use the lunarsolar system.

What determines a planet's length of a month?

The concept of a "month" doesn't really apply to any planet except the Earth. On Earth the month is closely connected to the Phases of our Moon. A month is not like a "day" or a "year" which depend on times of rotation and revolution of a planet.


How many complete rotation has the earth mad so far this month?

The Earth does a complete rotation on its axis every day. The Earth's rotation is the reason why we have night and day. So, if today is the 18th, the Earth has rotated 18 times this month.


How many times does the earth make a complete rotation in half month?

What determines length of a lunar month?

The length of a lunar month, or the time it takes for the Moon to complete a full cycle of phases, is determined by the time it takes for the Moon to orbit the Earth. On average, a lunar month lasts about 29.5 days. This slight variation accounts for why some lunar months are a bit longer or shorter.


Why and how was the length of the day just Eighteen to Nineteen hours per day in the previous geological ages?

The moon is effecting the Earth via tides. Over million of years the friction of the oceans and the Earth is slowing down its rotation causing the length of the day to increase. Eventually the Earth will have the same length of day and month, but that would be hundreds of millions of years from now.

How long is a month on venus in earth days?

Yes........and no. There are two definitions of "day". The 243 Earth days is the rotation period known as the sidereal day. However there is also the "solar day". This depends on a planet's orbital motion as well as its spin. That is only about 117 Earth days for Venus.


How long is a earth month?

An Earth month is typically around 30 or 31 days long. The exact length can vary depending on the specific month and whether it's a leap year.
