Lets talkabout time itself while were on the topic. Really, all time is, is a measurement of how long it takes our earth to spin on it axis. So Time on another planet would be totally different.
Also time from a Biblical stand point was different as well.
The structure of the Bible's internal calendar is not given directly. The various references to time found within its pages can be used to reconstruct the Bible calendar. That calendar provides the structure for counting precise days all the way from Adam to the present. It is also the calendar used in prophetic passages dealing with days months and years.
The Bible's definition of a day is unclear. Likely candidates include Sunrise and Sunset. This leaves all final date references, especially for predicted dates, with a tolerance of 1 day.
Bible months are a predictable 30 days each. No exceptions. There is no attempt to make the month synchronize with the movements of the earth's moon. It also makes time counted with months quite precise.
Biblical years come in two lengths with three different names. Years are either 360 days or 390 days, 12 or 13 months. The long years fall on the Sabbath and Jubilee years within a 50 year cycle.
