Understanding months: The building blocks of our calendar
Months are the fundamental divisions of our calendar year, each representing a specific period of time with unique characteristics, seasonal associations, and cultural significance. The modern calendar consists of 12 months, each with its own length, history, and traditions.
The 12 months of the year
Our calendar year contains exactly 12 months:
- January - 31 days (Named after Janus, Roman god of beginnings)
- February - 28/29 days (From Latin "februum," meaning purification)
- March - 31 days (Named after Mars, Roman god of war)
- April - 30 days (From Latin "aperire," meaning to open)
- May - 31 days (Named after Maia, Roman goddess of growth)
- June - 30 days (Named after Juno, Roman goddess of marriage)
- July - 31 days (Named after Julius Caesar)
- August - 31 days (Named after Augustus Caesar)
- September - 30 days (From Latin "septem," meaning seven)
- October - 31 days (From Latin "octo," meaning eight)
- November - 30 days (From Latin "novem," meaning nine)
- December - 31 days (From Latin "decem," meaning ten)
How our calendar works
The modern Gregorian calendar divides the year into 12 months, alternating between 30 and 31 days (with February as the exception). This system creates a total of 365 days in a regular year and 366 days in a leap year, closely approximating Earth's orbit around the sun.
