Solar cycles average about 11 years each. The eleven year cycle is measured by changes in the Sun's output, ejection of solar materials, sunspots, and auroras on Earth. Sometimes the cycle is referred to as a 22-year one since the sunspot activity reverses solar hemispheres (changes polarity) in alternating cycles.
Solar flares and prominences occur in 11-year cycles because of the Sun's magnetic field. This is known as the solar cycle, which is caused by the changing magnetic properties of the Sun. The cycle is driven by the Sun's internal dynamo mechanism, with peaks and valleys in solar activity occurring roughly every 11 years.

For the same reason you wouldn't use a ruler to measure a paramecium. A lightyear is the distance that light travels in a year, about 6,000,000,000,000 miles. The reason it isn't used inside of our solar system is, simply, because the solar system isn't that big.
In 2012 the solar system will be exactly the same. Because 2012 is just another year there's no such thing as the end of the world

Solar activity, such as sunspots and solar flares, follows an 11-year cycle known as the solar cycle. This cycle is driven by changes in the sun's magnetic field and can affect space weather and geomagnetic activity on Earth.
Sunspot cycles are 10 to 12 years in length.
Changes in Earth's orbit and axial tilt, known as Milankovitch cycles, are responsible for triggering the repeating 100,000-year cycles of ice ages. These variations affect the amount of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface, leading to periods of glaciation and interglacial periods.

That changes every year, since the Moon's cycles are not synchronized with the year.

As soon as there was a solar system.
The Egyptian calendar was base on a solar year

Both the American and Chinese calendars are based on a solar system, with the American calendar following the Gregorian system and the Chinese calendar following the lunisolar system. They both have 12 months in a year, but the Chinese calendar has a leap month added every few years to make up for the discrepancy between lunar and solar cycles.
