A solar month is a period of time that lasts about 30 days. It is one of the twelve parts that the calendar is divided into. It is called a solar month because it is the time it takes for the sun to pass through one sign of the zodiac. This is different from a lunar month, which is the time it takes for the moon to complete one cycle.
