The Persian or Solar Hijiri Calendar

The Persian calendar has been called


“one of the world’s most accurate
calendar systems.” Like the Islamic
calendar, it dates back to
Muhammad’s Hegira in 622 CE, but it
is otherwise quite different. It’s a
solar calendar, rather than a lunar
one, with the year beginning on
midnight of the vernal equinox in
Iran. There are twelve months, of
which the first six have thirty-one
days, the second five have thirty
days, and the last month, Esfand,
alternates between having twenty-
nine days or thirty days in a leap year. Unlike the Gregorian calendar, which uses a set of
mathematical rules to determine when leap years fall, leap years on the Persian calendar
are determined by the number of days between the two vernal equinoxes. This calendar is
currently used officially in Iran and Afghanistan.

*Answer the following questions:


Q.1. How are the months distributed in the Persian Calendar?
Q.2.What is the major difference between the Gregorian Calendar and the Persian
Calendar?
Q.3. Name any three months from the Persian Civil Calendar.
