Conversion Definitions
Months: A month is a unit of time based on the roughly 29.5 day lunar cycle, but in calendar use, it varies between 28 to 31 days. It is used to divide a year into smaller parts, totaling 12 months per year. Months help organize dates, schedules, and durations shorter than a year.
Years: A year represents the time it takes for the Earth to complete one orbit around the Sun, approximately 365.25 days. This unit groups 12 months together and serves as a standard measure for age, time spans, and calendar cycles across many systems worldwide.
Conversion FAQs
