Editing 360-day calendar (section)

{{Short description|Calendar used in some situations such as financial markets}}
The '''360-day calendar'''  is a method of measuring durations used in financial markets, in computer models, in ancient literature, and in prophetic literary genres. 

It is based on merging the three major calendar systems into one complex clock{{Citation needed|date=December 2023}}, with the 360-day year derived from the average year of the lunar and the solar: (365.2425 ''(solar)'' + 354.3829 ''(lunar)'')/2 = 719.6254/2 = 359.8127 days, rounding to 360. 

A 360-day year consists of 12 months of 30 days each, so to derive such a calendar from the standard [[Gregorian calendar]], certain days are skipped.

For example, the 27th of June (Gregorian calendar) would be the 4th of July in the USA.
