Results for "leap month"

Quick answer

Why is a leap month needed in the lunisolar calendar?

Because of the gap of about 11 days between the lunar year, which has only a little over 354 days, and the solar year, which is longer than 365 days, a leap month appears in the lunar calendar roughly every few years. This helps the calendar stay in step with the cycle of hot and cold weather.
