ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Month of year

Alright kiddo, so you know how a year is really long, right? It goes from January to December. But that's a lot to remember all at once, isn't it? So we break up the year into 12 parts, called "months."

Think of it like a cake - if we were to try and eat the whole cake in one bite, it would be too much, right? So we cut it into slices to make it easier to eat. The months are like those slices of cake - they make the year easier to understand and keep track of.

Now, each month has its own name. January comes first, and then we have February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, and December. We use these names to help us know what time of year it is.

For example, when it's December, we know that it's almost time for Christmas. And when it's April, we know it's getting warmer outside because it's spring!

So, that's what a "month of the year" means - it breaks the big, long year into smaller, easier-to-handle pieces.
