Comparable to the solar calendar, the lunar calendar works according to the rhythmic movements of a celestial body; however, the celestial body in question is the moon rather than the sun. As a general rule, this calendar-type is divided into periods of 28 days, rather than the 30-day cycle generally observed in the solar calendar.
