How Long Is a Month?
Long ago, people had no clocks. They looked at the moon to measure time. The moon changes its shape in about thirty days, and this period became our month.
People also watched the sun. The Earth goes around the sun in about 365 days, and that is the length of a year.
In the past, farmers used these ideas to plan their work. Today we still use them every day.
