12 months in a regular year,13 months in a Leap year
There are 12 months in the Hebrew calendar. In a leap year there are Adar A and Adar B. Adar is the sixth month.
It is made of days, weeks, months, and years, just like the western calendar.
1 week = 1 week on the Hebrew calendar. (The Hebrew week is the same length as the week on the Western calendar)
No. Some countries use different calendars. So for example you have a Hebrew calendar, a Chinese calendar, an Islamic calendar, a Hindu calendar and many others. For those that use the Gregorian calendar, the months are the same around the world.
In the Hebrew calendar, most years have twelve lunar months. Once every two or three years, a thirteenth month (the second Adar) is added in order to keep the lunar calendar in step with the solar year and its seasons.
The Hebrew calendar is a lunar and solar calendar, meaning its months follow the moon's cycle around the world, whereas the secular calendar is only a solar calendar which follows the sun.
The Hebrew calendar is a lunisolar calendar; it follows both the moon and the sun. Each month begins at the time of the new moon like a lunar calendar, but seven out of every nineteen years have thirteen months each instead of twelve to keep the calendar in sync with the seasons.
The Hebrew calendar works the same in every country of the world, including Norway. It's a lunisolar calendar with 12 lunar months, and a leap year adjustment of an extra month every few years.
The Gregorian Calendar is solar and the Hebrew Calendar is lunisolar.

Yes, the early Hebrew based their calendar on a mixture of the solar and lunar calendar; the moon was used to define months, the sun was used to track years.
It's the third month in the Jewish calendar, and it is just as any other month. In a leap year, there are two months of Adar (the sixth month in the calendar).
