Frequently Asked Questions
Why are there different calendar systems?
Different cultures developed their own ways of tracking time based on astronomical observations, religious traditions, and historical events. Some calendars are based on the moon (lunar), the sun (solar), or both (lunisolar).
How accurate are these conversions?
The conversions use well-established astronomical algorithms and are highly accurate. However, some historical dates may vary slightly due to different regional adoption dates of calendar reforms.
What is the difference between Gregorian and Julian calendars?
The main difference is how they handle leap years. The Julian calendar has a leap year every 4 years, while the Gregorian calendar skips leap years in century years not divisible by 400 (e.g., 1900 was not a leap year, but 2000 was).
Can I convert historical dates?
Yes, you can convert dates from any historical period. However, be aware that the Gregorian calendar was adopted at different times in different countries, so historical dates before 1582 should be verified against historical records.
How do I convert Gregorian to Islamic (Hijri) calendar?
Simply select "Gregorian" as your source calendar, enter the date, select "Islamic (Hijri)" as your target calendar, and click Convert. The Islamic calendar is lunar-based and approximately 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year.
What is the Chinese calendar used for?
The Chinese lunisolar calendar is used to determine traditional holidays like Chinese New Year, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Dragon Boat Festival. It's also used for selecting auspicious dates for weddings and important events.
How do I convert Hebrew calendar to Gregorian?
Select "Hebrew" as source calendar, enter the Hebrew date (year, month, day), select "Gregorian" as target, and convert. This is useful for determining when Jewish holidays fall on the Gregorian calendar.
What is the Buddhist calendar?
The Buddhist calendar (Thai Buddhist Era) is widely used in Southeast Asian countries. It's based on the Gregorian calendar but with years counted from Buddha's death (543 years ahead). For example, 2024 CE = 2567 BE.
Can I convert between any two calendar systems?
Yes! Our converter supports bidirectional conversion between all 10 calendar systems. You can convert from any calendar to any other calendar, such as Persian to Chinese, Ethiopian to Buddhist, etc.
Why does the Islamic calendar have different dates each year?
The Islamic calendar is purely lunar with 12 lunar months of 29-30 days, totaling 354-355 days per year. This makes it 10-11 days shorter than the solar Gregorian calendar, so Islamic holidays shift earlier each Gregorian year.
