The common year of 365 days has 52 weeks and one day, hence a common year always begins and ends on the same day of the week (for example, January 1 and December 31 fell on a Sunday in 2017) and the year following a common
Solar Hijri calendar calendar of 365 days for three consecutive years plus an extra day in the next year, save for exceptions to the latter in three out of every four centenaries). The start of the year and its number of days remain fixed to one of the two equinoxes, the astronomically important days which have the same duration of the sun. It results in less variability of all celestial bodies comparing a specific calendar date from one year to others. Each of the twelve months corresponds with a zodiac sign. The first six months have 31 days, the next five have 30
