The Gregorian calendar is widely used today because it is a solar-based calendar that aligns more closely with the Earth's orbit around the sun. While the Mayan calendar was based on the cycles of the moon and the sun, it did not account for leap years and other adjustments needed to keep the calendar in sync with the changing seasons.
