Months of the Year
There are 12 months in a year. The months are January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December. We use a calendar to know the dates and months of a particular year.
The year begins with the January month. So, January is the 1st or first month of the year.
February is the 2nd or second month of the year.
March is the 3rd or third month of the year.
April is the 4th or fourth month of the year.

September is the 9th or ninth month of the year.
October is the 10th or tenth month of the year.
November is the 11th or eleventh month of the year.
December is the last month i.e., 12th or twelfth of the year.
A year has
365 days.
A leap year comes once in 4 years. It has 366 days. It has one more day in the month of February.
2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, 2024 were leap year.
A calendar shows the days, weeks and months of the year.
It is clear from the above calendar that:
★ 3rd is a Sunday
★ 4th is a Monday
★ 5th is a Tuesday
★ 6th is a Wednesday
★ 21st is a Thursday
★ 15th is a Friday
★ A day repeats itself after every 7 days.
The names of the months in order with number of days are given below in the table.
From the above table, we see that:
l January, March, May, July, August, October and December have 31 days.
l April, June, September and November have 30 days.
l February has 28 or 29 days.
February has 28 days. Once in four years, February has 29 days. The year in which February has 29 days is called a leap year.
The year which has 29 days in. February is called a leap year.
There is an easy way to remember the days of each month.
Starting with January, go up and down on your knuckles as shown above. All the months that come up on a knuckle have 31 days each. All the months that come up on depressions have 30 days each except February that has 28 or 29 days.
