A calendar is a system for naming periods of time, typically days. These names are known as calendar dates. The dates may be based on the perceived motion of astronomical objects. A calendar is also a physical device (often paper) that illustrates the system (for example, a desktop calendar) — this is the most common usage of the word. As a subset, 'calendar' is also used to denote a list of particular set of planned events (for example, court calendar). Calendar - Calendar systems. Including:

A lunisolar calendar is synchronized both to the motion of the Moon and to the apparent motion of the Sun; an example is the Jewish calendar. An arbitrary calendar is not synchronized to either the Moon or the Sun; examples are the ...

Decimal time - Egypt. Decimal time was said to have been introduced in Ancient Egypt by Thoth. The day was divided into 10 parts, each part into 100 subdivisions, each further divided by 100, making 100,000 divisions in a day. Additionally, each Egyptian month was divided into three periods of 10 days called decans, and each of the 36 decans of the year was represented by a different constellation.

There are exactly 86400 standard seconds (see SI for the current definition of the standard second) in a standard day, but in the French decimal time system there are 100,000 decimal seconds in the day, so the decimal second is shorter than its counterpart. One decimal second is 86400/100000 = 0.864 standard seconds. One decimal minute is 1440/1000 = 1.44 standard minutes, i.e. 1 minute 26.4 seconds. One decimal hour is 24/10 = 2.4 standard hours.

The primary practical use of a calendar is to identify days: to be informed about and/or to agree on a future event and to record an event that has happened. Days may be significant for civil, religious or social reasons. For example, a calendar provides a way to determine which days are religious or civil holidays, which days mark the beginning and end of business accounting periods, and which days have legal significance, such as the day taxes are due or a contract expires. Also a calendar may, by identifying a day, provide other useful information ...
