Every year has exactly 52 weeks divided in 13 months. Each month has exactly 28 days divided in 4 weeks. Every day of the month falls on the same weekday in each month (i.e. the 17th always falls on a Wednesday). The calendar is the same every year (perennial), unlike the annual Gregorian calendar, which differs from year to year.
A month is a unit of time, used with calendars, that is approximately as long as a natural phase cycle of the Moon; the words month and Moon are cognates.The traditional concept of months arose with the cycle of Moon phases; such lunar months ("lunations") are synodic months and last approximately 29.53 days, making for roughly 12.37 such months in one Earth year.

The contents of these sections can better be merged into the month article, after which the month articles can be transcluded in the year articles.
The Darian calendar is an arrangement of sols into a Martian year. It maintains a seven-sol week (retaining Sunday through Saturday naming customs), with four weeks to a month and 24 months to a Martian year, which contains 668 or 669 sols depending on leap years. The last Saturday of every six months is skipped over in the Darian calendar.
One form of the mnemonic is done by counting on the knuckles of one's hand to remember the number of days in each month. [1] Knuckles are counted as 31 days, depressions between knuckles as 30 (or 28/29) days.
The months were kept in alignment with the moon, however, by counting the new moon as the last day of the first month and simultaneously the first day of the next month. [4] The system is usually said to have left the remaining two to three months of the year as an unorganized "winter", since they were irrelevant to the farming cycle. [4]
