My Little Pony Friendship is Magic Question

Can someone help me figure something out?

In the episode Apple Family Reunion it is stated that they hold the reunions about every one hundred moons. So I was wondering what exactly is a "moon"? In the reunion before the one in the episode it was shown that Applejack was a foal and now a hundred moons later she's a mare. So does that mean that "moons" means years or something else?

I think it may be months, I suck at time mathematics but I'll try this. Every 100 moons, means every 100 months, which is about 8 years, so they probably hold the reunion every 8 years. They never did specify which reunion was the one where Applejack was a foal, so it could have been any time before. At the very least, it could have been 2 reunions ago meaning Applejack would probably be 18 or 19.

That makes sense.

I was assuming that the reunion showed with apple was the last one so I guess maybe it does mean months.

Actually, if we went by full moons, it would be 8 years, 4 months.

We get 12 full moons a year, times 8 is only 96. On the 9th year, we would be 1/3 of the way through the year, or 4 months.

So they hold the reunion every 8 years, 4 months.

I don't think its months because then Applebloom and Applejack should be closer in age.

Full moons would also mean months and that would present the same problem.

Possibly weeks?

I'm going to go with the flow and say months. If it were weeks, there probably wouldn't be much stuff done outside of the reunion. If it were years, we wouldn't see any of the ponies we saw during the episode. That's my theory.
