A calendar is a system of measurement for long periods of time. Calendars generally define units of time in terms of days, with larger units being multiple days, these units being given names or numbers to facilitate recording events or periods of history and planning future events. The above definition is disputed and is considered misleading. Do calendars really measure time? An alternative definition is that a calendar names days. This definition is used in the Nupedia article below.
