The document discusses the causes of years, days, and months. It explains that: 1) The earth revolves around the sun in an elliptical orbit, taking 365 1/4 days, or approximately 365 days, to complete one revolution. 2) A day is caused by the earth rotating on its axis once every 24 hours, not by its orbit around the sun. 3) Months are caused by the moon orbiting the earth and appearing to change shape, or go through phases, every month as different portions of the moon are lit up by the sun facing the earth.
