Infrapink (he/his/him)<p>The issue here is that 28 days doesn't match up with any lunar cycles. The synodic month is a shade over 29½ days long, so any timekeeping system that synchronises with the phases of the moon will have months of 29 or 30 days.</p><p>The sidereal and draconic months are just over 27 days long; months that synchronise with those moon cycles will occasionally be 28 days long, but will more often have 27 days.</p><p>3/12</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Months" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Months</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Moon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Moon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Timekeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Timekeeping</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Calendars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Calendars</span></a></p>
