All right. Astronomers, mathematicians, and generally science-y people, help me out here?
So I'm doing some worldbuilding for my Camp NaNoWriMo novel. The planet this book takes place on has an almost Earth-like rotation, so 24 hours per day. Then the months are one lunar month, so 29.5 days. 240 days per year, with some extra days towards the end or something to balance it out. There are 8 months a year.
I don't know if I want there to be classic seasons or not, but assuming I do, and assuming I haven't figured out the placement of the extra days yet, what the crap? I was going somewhere with this. Help?
As you may have noticed, as much as I love science, I am rather not good at figuring stuff like this out easily. And I probably botched the math too. Sorry? If y'all could take a look at it so I'm not completely lost when I wrap up the planning and start writing, that'd be great.
I can clarify in the morning after 1) I've gotten some sleep and 2) you've asked questions for me to clarify.
Thanks in advance and sorry I have so little coherent material to go on. You are all really quite wonderful.
