Why are there 24 hours in a ‘day’?.................
Why 31 days in some months, 30 in others, and 28 in one ... unless there are 29?
It is NOT a funcion of the lunar cycle. Some months have two full moons.
Why not 10 36-day months with one 5-day “slack week” which stands on its own?
A “day” is the earth spinning on it’s axis and begins when the sun is opposite your location on the planet which is midnight. Noon is when the sun is directly above your meridian of longitude as the earth continues its spin the time is after noon or PM “post(your)meridian.
A “day” begins and ends at night.
It takes ~365.25 days to orbit the sun currently so that is a year. We add one full day every 4th year (leap year is in 2020) to the month of February to correct for that 0.25 day otherwise the seasons would drift out of the winter, spring, summer and fall alignment with certain months.
Why are there 5 days to a work week.
