A quick definition of calendar month:
A calendar month is one of the twelve parts that the year is divided into. Each month has a different name, like March or July. A month is usually around 30 days long, but some months can be a little shorter or longer. There are also different types of months, like lunar months which are based on the moon's cycle, and solar months which are based on the sun's movement.
A more thorough explanation:
A calendar month is a period of time in which the calendar is divided. It is one of the twelve months in a year. It can also refer to any time period approximating 30 days.
For example, if something is due one month from today, it means it is due approximately 30 days from today.
At common law, a calendar month was a period of 28 days. This is the period of one revolution of the moon, also known as a lunar month.
Another type of month is a solar month, which is one-twelfth of a tropical year. This is the time it takes the sun to pass through one sign of the zodiac, usually approximating 30 days.
Overall, a calendar month is a way to measure time and divide the year into manageable periods.
