An astronomical calendar is a calendar that is regulated by ongoing reference to certain astronomical oberservations rather than relying arithmetic rules. Such calendar include the Chinese calendar and the Islamic calendar. The advantage of such a calendar is that it can be perfectly accurate and this accuracy does not perish with time. The disadvantage is that one cannot predict with certainty when every date will occur. See also Arithmetic calendar
