About Perisan calendar

The Persian calendar is a sonar calendar, like Gregorian calendar, but there are some differences. One is that the origins are different, and the Persian calendar's origin is about 621 years after Gregorian calendar's; another one is that Persian calendar's first day of year is March 21; and probably the most important one is that the average length of a Persian calendar year is different from that of a Gregorian calendar: the Persian calendar has 8 leap years (that is a year that has an extra day than normal years) in each 33 years, whereas the Gregorian calendar has 8 leap years in each 32 years. This little difference means that Persian dates cannot be calculated directly from Gregorian dates.
