The Gregorian year The Gregorian year is considered a solar year, and its number of days is 365, and sometimes it is 366 in a leap year.
As for the number of weeks, 52 weeks, and the Gregorian calendar is the calendar used globally. The Gregorian calendar is named after the birth of Jesus, peace be upon him.
The counting of years was established by the monk “Denisius the Younger”, and this calendar was also called the “Gregorian” calendar, after Pope Gregory the thirteenth, Pope of Rome. Pope Gregory is also considered the one who modified the Julian calendar, to become the calendar we use today.

What is the reason for the names of the months?

The date was known to the Romans since 750 before the birth of Christ, peace be upon him, and this calendar was lunar, in which the year consisted of only ten months, until the king of Rome (Thomas II) came, who added the months of January and February, and the year consisted of 355 days.
In the year 46 BC, the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar, the astronomer, summoned the Egyptian astrologer “Surigin” from Alexandria, asking him to put an arithmetic date to be relied upon and dated. The Egyptian astronomer responded and put a date based on the solar year.

After that, the Romans switched from the lunar calendar to the solar calendar, and this date was called the “Julian” date, in relation to Emperor Julius Caesar, and it remained in practice in Europe and some other nations before and after the birth of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him.
In the sixth or eighth century of the birth of Christ, the calculation was made and the solar calendar was reverted to the beginning of the Christian history from the beginning of the Gregorian year in relation to the birth of Jesus Christ, peace be upon him, and that the beginning of this date be January 1, which is the day of the circumcision of Christ, as they say, since his birth, peace be upon him, was in December 25, when this date became known as the Gregorian date
