A calendar is a system for dividing time and arranging the divisions. Kids and adults use calendars almost every day. Whether they hang on the wall or are opened with a tap on a cell phone, calendars help us keep track of appointments, school days, sporting events and other important dates. Who invented the first calendar? Why do we have 24 hours in a day and 12 months in a year? The Mini Page found out more about how calendars were developed. from The Mini Page © 2011 Universal Uclick

* Today some people use B.C.E., or before common era, and C.E., or common era, to identify the years.

In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII changed the calendar, and most people still use the Gregorian calendar today. This calendar is based on how long the Earth takes to make one orbit around the sun. Today this is calculated as about 3651 4 days — which is why every four years, WE HAVE AN EXTRA LEAP DAY IN &EBRUARY

Modern calendars

In the year 585 in Rome, a scholar named Dionysius invented a calendar that numbered the years. It used B.C. and A.D. to tell the difference between the years before and after the birth of Jesus Christ.* " # STANDS FOR before Christ. If WE SAY " # WE MEAN YEARS before Christ was born. A.D. stands for anno domini, a ,ATIN PHRASE MEANING hTHE YEAR OF OUR ,ORD v 7HEN WE SAY ! $ WE MEAN 435 years after Christ’s birth.

In ancient times, people noted the passage of time by sunrises and sunsets, seasons and moon phases. &OR EXAMPLE IT TAKES ABOUT HOURS for the Earth to make one rotation on ITS AXIS THIS IS THE BASIS FOR A day. Our calendar bases months roughly on the time between new moons. Can you remember how many days each month has?

Answer: You can remember how many days each month has with this rhyme: “30 days has September, April, June and November.” The other months have 31 days, except for February. In a regular year, February has 28 days; in a leap year, it has 29.
