Time is a strange phenomenon. It passes by so quickly, and yet it can also seem to stand still. Some occurrences happen so often that they become part of our daily routines, while others may only happen once a year, or even twice a month. This article will discuss the phenomena of what comes once a year, and twice a month.
Annual Occurrence
A calendar year is divided into twelve months, with each month having its own set of days and events. Every year, certain events will always take place in the same month, such as birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and other special occasions. Even if the exact day of the event changes from year to year, the month in which the event takes place remains the same. This is an example of an annual occurrence that comes once a year.
Twice-Monthly Phenomenon
The twice-monthly phenomenon refers to events that occur twice in one month, but not in the following month. Examples of such occurrences include the full moon, the new moon, and the equinoxes. The full moon and new moon both happen approximately every 29.5 days, which means that they will occur twice in some months and only once in others. The same is true of the equinoxes, which are the two days each year when the sun is directly over the equator, and the length of day and night are nearly equal.
No matter how quickly time passes, certain events will always come around each year, and certain phenomena will occur twice in some months and only once in others. It’s a fascinating phenomenon that is worth taking the time to observe and appreciate.
