A calendar is a system for naming periods of time, typically days. These names are known as calendar dates. Cycles in a calendar are often synchronised with the perceived motion of astronomical objects.
A calendar is also a physical device (often paper). This is the most common usage of the word.
As a subset, 'calendar' is also used to denote a list of particular set of planned events (for example, court calendar).
