    A satellite of Earth. Held by Earth's gravity, it orbits Earth and follows Earth around the sun. It always shows half its surface receiving sunlight. When facing Earth directly, we see a full moon, called 望. When at an angle, we see a half moon, called the first or last quarter. When facing away, moonlight is not visible, called 晦 (dark moon) and 朔 (new moon). | Months of the year. The moon orbits Earth once in approximately 29.5 Earth rotations. Hence the lunar calendar counts months as 29 or 30 days. Twelve months make a year. Now the solar calendar is used: January, March, May, July, August, October, and December each have 31 days. April, June, September, and November each have 30 days. February has 28 days in regular years and 29 days in leap years.
