Month

A month is a unit of time roughly equal to 1/12th of a year, or approximately 28 to 31 days. The length of a month varies depending on the calendar system being used, but in the Gregorian calendar, months generally alternate between 30 and 31 days, with February being the exception, having 28 or 29 days depending on whether it is a leap year.

Origin:

The concept of a month has its origins in the lunar cycle, or the time it takes the Moon to orbit the Earth. Early civilizations, including the Babylonians and Egyptians, used the lunar calendar based on the Moon's phases, with one month corresponding to one lunar cycle of approximately 29.5 days. Over time, as societies began to align their calendars with the solar year, the length of the month was adjusted to fit into the 365-day year. The Gregorian calendar, introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, is the most widely used system today, with months ranging from 28 to 31 days to account for the Earth's orbit around the Sun. The calendar was designed to bring the date of the Spring equinox closer to March 21st, which led to adjustments in how months are structured.

Century

A century is a unit of time equal to 100 years. It is commonly used to refer to a period of 100 years in history, often to describe significant cultural, historical, or societal changes over a long span of time.

Origin:

The word "century" comes from the Latin word "centuria", meaning a group of 100. The concept of dividing time into centuries has roots in the Roman system of organizing time and military units. The idea of measuring time in centuries became more formalized during the Middle Ages, as historians began to structure history into manageable periods for recording and analysis. By the time of the Gregorian calendar, the century became a standard way to refer to a 100-year span, often used to discuss developments in history, such as "the 19th century" or "the 21st century." The century is now a common unit used in various fields like history, economics, and demographics.
