FAQ โ€“ Lunar Calendar Calculator

What is a Lunar Calendar Calculator?

A Lunar Calendar Calculator helps you determine the dates of lunar phases โ€” such as the New Moon, Full Moon, First Quarter, and Last Quarter โ€” based on your location and time zone. Itโ€™s widely used in astrology, religious observances, and agriculture.

How does the Lunar Calendar differ from the Solar Calendar?

The Lunar Calendar is based on the Moonโ€™s cycles (about 29.5 days per month), while the Solar Calendar follows the Earthโ€™s orbit around the Sun (365 days per year). This makes lunar months shorter and causes lunar festivals to shift each year in the solar calendar.

What can I calculate using the Lunar Calendar Calculator?

You can find lunar phases, tithis (lunar days), nakshatras, and moonrise/moonset timings. Itโ€™s also useful for identifying important religious or cultural events based on the Moonโ€™s position.

How accurate is the Lunar Calendar Calculator?
