Calendar Systems & Timekeeping

Lunisolar Calendar

A calendar system that tracks both the Moon's phases and the Earth's position around the Sun, inserting an extra month periodically to keep months synchronized with seasons. The Hebrew, Chinese, Hindu, and Buddhist calendars are all lunisolar systems. This approach ensures that festivals tied to harvests or agricultural events occur at the same time of year despite following lunar months.
