8. The earliest complete calendars were probably based on lunar
observations. But lunar years were not convenient for
agricultural purposes. Therefore, to keep in step with the Sun,
lunar-solar calendars were formed by adding an additional "leap"
month when the observation of crops made it seem necessary.
Eventually the Gregorian civil calendar, a solar calendar that is
calculated without reference to the Moon, became the most
popular method of measuring years.
