Question Scientific studies show that the Moon is getting farther away from the Earth and slower in its revolution. Will luni-solar calendars need an intercalary month more often or less often?
Luni-solar calendars will need an intercalary month more often as the Moon moves farther and slower, and it takes longer to complete a cycle. So, a lunar year becomes even shorter compared to the solar year.
