The calendar that is used today (civil calendar) is based off the Jewish calendar. A Jewish calendar is based off of three astrological facts. Those facts are the rotation of the earth on its axes, the time it takes for the moon to make a complete rotation around the earth, and the time it takes for the earth to complete an full rotation around the sun. It takes right at twenty-four hours for the earth to make one complete rotation on its axes. The moon takes about twenty-nine and half days to rotate around the earth. And then the earth takes about three hundred and sixty-five and a quarter days to rotate around the sun. This all happens independent of each other and there is no direct connection between them. The civil calendar has abandoned the correlation between all these cycles. There is a good reason why the civil calendar is followed over the Jewish calendar. When it is all added up it makes the number of months in a year to be twelve point four months. Because of this fact the Jewish calendar will throw in a thirteenth month every three years which makes it very confusing.
