Who discovered solar calendar?
The very FIRST one? Probably Ugghhh the Caveman, but it probably wasn't very accurate. The Egyptians and Babylonians had fairly accurate solar calendars; that is, calendars that corresponded more-or-less to the annual cycles of the seasons. The Romans came up with a fairly good one, which was used in Europe for almost 1600 years; it was attributed to the emperor Julius Caesar, and is called the "Julian Calendar". It measured the year as 365.25 days, and included one leap year and three regular years. But by the 1500;s, the Julian Calendar had slipped out of synchronization with the solar year by almost 11 days, and the date of Easter was coming too early. So a commission ordered by Pope Gregory devised the current "Gregorian" calendar that we still use today. Over the course of about 100 years, more and more European nations adopted this calendar, which finally included Britain in the mid-1700s. There are other calendars in use; most common are the Hebrew calendar, which is luni-solar, and the Islamic calendar which is strictly lunar.

What is the lunar calendar used for?
Some cultures use lunar calendars, which are based on the timing of the moon's orbit of the Earth, rather than solar calendars, which are based on the Earth's orbit of the sun. One lunar calendar in use today is the Islamic calendar, the Hijra. Some calendars, like the Hebrew calendar, are luni-solar, a cross between the lunar calendar and the solar calendar. They have months that begin at the time of the new moon, but they also have leap months added every few years to keep pace with the solar cycle. Regarding what they're used for, the primary purpose today is to know the time of traditional, especially religious, feasts and other observances. Lunar calendars in everyday use today is rare since the invention of electric lighting, yet might still be handy to some hunters, fishermen, or lunologists.
Which countries invented solar calendars?

What calendars are based off the sun and moon?
Most calendars are in some way based on either the solar (Sun) or the lunar (Moon) cycle; some are based on both. Of the commonly used calendars:* The Gregorian calendar - the most widely used calendar worldwide - is based on the Sun. That is, the length of the year is based on the Sun; but the start of the year and the months is not related to any particular astronomical event.* The Jewish calendar is based on both the Moon and the Sun. As far as I know, it's the only widely used calendar that is based on BOTH. Some years have 12 months, others have 13 months.* The Muslim calendar is based on the Moon. A muslim year is about 11 days shorter than a Gregorian (solar) year.* Many other calendars are based on the Sun.
