is equal to 354.37 days. A sun year is equal to 365 days. It means there is a difference of approximately 10 days between a lunar year and sun year. In three years, this difference becomes of 30 days, hence after every 3 years, one lunar month is added to the calendar.

To be precise, this lunar month is added after 32 months, 16 days and 8 hours to keep lunar and solar calendars aligned.
