Lunar calendar

Chinese New Year celebrates new year in Lunar Calendar, and the day of Lunar Calendar that celebrates Chinese New Year is different every year. Chinese New Year usually occurs in February. Chinese New Year is the most important day for Chinese people. Most Chinese people would go back to their hometown to celebrate this traditional day especially the elder Chinese people since they really want to meet with their families. In China most people go to the other cities to find better jobs. It is hard to communicate with family when they work in other cities. Phone calls may be good ways to communicate, but face to face talking is better than using phones since it is needed to show the respect to each other, and people will know how you’re feeling about any topic. The difference between Chinese New Year and other holidays is no matter how far you live, you must go back home and spend time with your family. Even though my father and mother have jobs and live in America, they take vacations and go back to China to celebrate this special day because Chinese New Year is the only time that their brothers and sisters have time to sit down and communicate with each other. Since I had school during Chinese New Year, I went to Oakland China Town to celebrate Chinese New Year. On February 10 2013, I remember that was the first year I lived in America, and I woke up at 4 a.m. because the U.S. and China are in different time zones. It was 8 p.m. in China. I used video chat with my parents.…

civilizations have paved the way to these modern devices used daily in today’s society. The effective use of astronomy enables the calculation of which day it is, the time of day, and how one can navigate from place to place. The observations of ancient astronomers over 5000 years ago led to the tracking of celestial bodies that have aided in the creation of both the lunar and solar calendars. Many early cultures used the moon to trace the passage of days as it revolved around the Earth,…

In Graph JM2-17, the cosine curve for both is very similar. Both months/graphs start out at a very minimal percent illumination of the moon, reaching peak illumination around the 12th and 13th day of the months. They also both reach the point of no illumination on the exact same day of the month, the 28th. These patterns follow that of the lunar month. The differences are that the month of March takes about one day longer to reach 100% than that of January, which is still in line with the…
