The Moon's calendar, often referred to as the lunar calendar, is based on the phases of the Moon, which cycle approximately every 29.5 days. However, many lunar calendars, such as the Islamic calendar, consist of 12 months with 29 or 30 days, leading to an average of about 28 days in each month when simplified. This system aligns with the Moon's visibility and phases, making it practical for tracking time. Additionally, a 28-day month fits neatly into the lunar cycle, making it easier for traditional cultures to organize their activities around the Moon's phases.

The Islamic calendar month only has 28 days, where as the Georgian calendar month varies between 28 and 31 days (depending on the month). This means that the Islamic calendar is shorter than the Georgian calendar by approximately 11 days every year. For this reason Islamic religious evens such as the Holy month of Ramadan, migrate forward each year by about 11 days.

Why are there 28 days in February?

It was a political, religious and superstitious decision made roughly 2700 years ago by the Roman King Numa Pompilius. Up to that point the Romans had a ten-month calendar with 304 days, and approximately 61 winter days (between December and March) that were not assigned to any month. Numa created a new twelve-month calendar with 355 days by adding January (29 days) and February (28 days). In general, February has contained 28 days ever since. Interestingly, February's 28 days were the second month of the Roman civil calendar but the last (twelfth) month of their religious calendar.
