This proposed calendar is a solar calendar based around the equinoxes and solstices, and takes into consideration that the number of days in each solar quarter are different due to the earth's off-center orbit around the sun. This calendar continues the precedent of 12 months and 365 or 366 days per calendar year as set by the Gregorian and other calendars.

  • This proposed calendar is a solar calendar based around the equinoxes and solstices, and takes into consideration that the number of days in each solar quarter are different due to the earth's off-center orbit around the sun. This calendar continues the precedent of 12 months and 365 or 366 days per calendar year as set by the Gregorian and other calendars. Measuring the solar quarters as the time between equinox and solstice, the author of the calendar observed that the earth spends more time in the spring and summer quarters than in the winter and fall quarters. In the northern hemisphere each of the solar quarters are measured as follows: * The spring quarter is a little less than 93 days. (Spring Equinox to Summer Solstice) * The summer quarter is a little less than 94 days. (Summer Solstice to Fall Equinox) * The fall quarter is a little less than 90 days. (Fall Equinox to Winter Solstice) * The winter quarter is a little less than 89 days. (Winter Solstice to Spring Equinox) 93 (Spring) + 94 (Summer) + 90 (Fall) + 89 (Winter) = 366 days = one leap year. 366 days is fine for leap years, but 1 day must be subtracted on standard years. In the following table the author has divided each of these solar quarters by 3 and assigned the days to months:
