Question

How are the Muslim and Chinese calendars different?

Answer 1

The Chinese calendar has both solar, and lunar elements. On the other hand, Muslim calendars have only lunar elements. 

Answer 2

Muslim calendar is a lunar calendaar , and the Chinese calendar is a lunisolar calendar.

Explanation:

Hi,The difference between the lunisolar calendar and the lunar calendar is the celestial body used to measure the passage of time. The lunar calendar uses the phases of the moon to measure time, usually measuring the time from new moon to new moon as one month.

The lunisolar calendar is a calendar whose date indicates both the moon phase and the time of the solar year.

If the solar year is taken to be a tropical year then a lunisolar calendar will also give an indication of the season. If it is taken to be a sidereal year then it will give us an idea of the constellation near which the full moon may occur.
