1) What is the current calendar most of the world uses / accepts? Explain who made it and why this is accepted.
====The Gregorian calendar, also known as the Western calendar, or Christian calendar is the calender the the world uses. It was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII on Febrauary 24th, 1582. Since the equinox was tied to the celebration of Easter, the Roman Catholic Church considered that this steady movement was acceptable.====

3) List three other types of calendars used and how they set up their calendar (ex. Lunar).
====﻿//Lunisolar Calender-// These calendars aim to be both solar calendars and lunar calendars, but are more successful in tracking the seasonal cycle than the lunar cycle. Such a calendar consists of years which accord closely with the seasonal cycle and months which accord more-or-less closely with the lunar cycle.==== ====//Solilunar Calender-// These calendars aim to be both solar calendars and lunar calendars, but are more successful in tracking the lunar cycle than the seasonal cycle. They consist of months which accord closely with the lunar cycle and years which accord more-or-less closely with the seasonal cycle.==== ====//Purley Solar Calaneder-// Those which are based on the cycle of the seasons, which results from the motion of the Earth around the Sun. These calendars have years which accord with the seasonal cycle and begin at or near a fixed point in that cycle. Years in a purely solar calendar may be composed of months, but the months have little if any connection with the lunar cycle.====

12) List two ancient clocks and how they worked.
====//﻿Sun Clocks-// They used //Obelisks(//slender, tapering, four-sided monuments). Moving shadows formed a kind of sundial, enabling people to partition the day into morning and afternoon. Another Egyptian shadow clock or sundial, possibly the first portable timepiece, used around 1500BCE. This device divided a sunlit day into 10 parts plus two "twilight hours" in the morning and evening.==== ====//Water Clocks-// They were stone vessels with sloping sides that allowed water to drip at a nearly constant rate from a small hole near the bottom. Markings on the inside surfaces measured the passage of "hours" as the water level reached them. These clocks were used to determine hours at night, but may have been used in daylight as well.====

18) What is Daylight Saving Time? Do we use this in Saskatchewan?
====﻿During late Winter we move our clocks one hour ahead and "lose" an hour during the night and each Fall we move our clocks back one hour and "gain" an extra hour. In Saskatchewan we do not use Daylight Savings Time.====

Years are named and there are 60 names. Once the sixty names are finished, the next year begins.
