There is a famous rhyme to help remember how many days are in each month that goes “Thirty days has September, April, June and November – all the rest have thirty-one. Except February which has 28 or 29 in a leap year.”

Many cultures use the moon’s cycle (the lunar cycle) to define which month they are in.
