My favourite has to be LeopardStar (I know she isn’t that popular but I love her story, and the fact even though she has a redemption arc, but still could be ‘mean or hostile’ which I like. Her whole entire character didn’t do a full 180, but she wasn’t considered straight up evil)

I can’t right now. I only have the first book :P

I’m not into warrior cats but I still knew that. I mean it’s obvious, the moon takes 28 days to cycle through, so obviously.

Agreed. 1 moon is 1 month. Even in real life.

@Umbreonfan03 like he said in the video, the moon takes one whole month to make one cycle. Thats where the warrior series gets a moon from. If you think about it, cats don't know what a month is. Not in the way we do.

Still didn't understand after reading the entire series.

@Hog More I don't know you're probably right. I mean it is logical but everyone else thinks it's 1 month.

Wouldn't it be 2 moons for a month though?

Most, if not all, months have atleast 2 full moons

yep. I was like read warriors and you shall understand, the whole video.

In my head I was debating on whether it was 1 day or a month (I'm only on the third book so they don't reveal much) but I always knew it was a month cuz silverstream lives for about 21 moons if it was days well... But if it was months she was around 1 year and 9 months when she died.

Yes, Moon ≈ Month. But its length varies.

If someone lives on Earth's Moon and sees Earth as its Moon, then it month's length is around 24 hours or 1 day on Earth. While on Earth, a month's length is 30 days or 1 month.

Let's say this. Someone… Let's Princess Lun… er, Kaguya. Princess Kaguya was sent away from the Moon to the Earth. Before she departed, her Council say "Kaguya. Please return back in 30 months! That's 30 days on Earth!"

But when she got on Earth, she decided to extend her stay for 6 Earth months and more!

Or maybe she just plain boke plus didn't hear the '30 Moon months ≈ 30 Earth days' part, and thought 'I've only stayed here for 6 months'.

@ChaoticBlueee rainbow is an adult she literally said it in one episode 💀

Y'all I don't think they are teenagers. They writers just wanted to put them in a high school setting for EG. The age of their human self is not the same. An example of a teenager pony would be Sandbar from the student 6. Based on how the Mane 6 live their lives in Equestria, they seem like younger adults. Like early 20s. They all have full time jobs and live on their own.

The human world would work in contrast to the ponies because ponies age differently just like other animals. Twilight could still be an adult for ponies/ horses. Or fully matured. Which could easily be 17-18 in human years

And the age for elementary school is 5-11. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Personally, I believe pony’s live to be thousands of years old. Because Granny Smith was there when ponyville was founded, and ponyville was founded a LONG time ago. And at the end of season nine, twilight got her flowy/glittery main, and from the old story’s the princesses tell us, it takes pretty long to get to that stage.

@Crystal 959 no it’s been so many more years then that at the point of season 9 i think when the first epsidoe started twilight was around 17 and the oldest was like rarity who was 23 or somthing everyone eles was in the middle and by the  end of the show they were all like grandma age idk the exact so i’m just saying grandma cuz u get what i mean or maby in there 30-40 that’s probly more accurate

late teens to early adult 17-23 at the end of the show they were all like grandma or mom age but it’s confusing bc in equestria girls they were all trens

@Llamas and penguins Forever I think they are like 9 yr old but scootalo(pretty sure that's not how u spell it) 10

@ChibiKittyCat nah like the cmc are probably 9-11 bc tbh with them being called little kids at 14 is kinda a bit....

I would say that we probably can’t compare their age in equestria girls to their pony age, considering in the pony world celestia is thousands of years old, and if she was that old in the human world, she would be dead.

Let me tell you: Twilight=18-21 ,Pinkie=16-20, Aplejack=17-22, Rarity=15-19, Rainbow Dash=13-23, Flutershy=17-20 . There you have it

@Joliet Magana i don't think that fluttershy is the oldest i think its rarity cause she does work sewing whereas fluttershy doesn't have a job until season 7

I think the mane 6 are 16 or 17 cause they're in high school and the cmc is 8 or 10 yrs old cause spur and biscuit are older than the cmc so.....the cmc are in primary school using spur and biscuit as a referance they might be in middle school ......idk tho im also pretty confused but this is my complicated theory.

@ChaoticBlueee Are you kidding me!? She's like 20!

@ChibiKittyCat I think they might be 10 cause if they were 13 or 14 they would look older and wouldn't be treated so young

Actually judging from Applejack’s growth I would say that 100 moons equals to 8 years. First she is seen as a baby and then as almost adult (16 years old) and the present Reunion is now so AJ must be 24 years old.

since their in highschool in equestria girls, they may be a uhhh- 15-18

they're clearly older than that XD I mean, Pinkie has a KID and her kid is clearly not a baby but a child, maybe even close to being a teenager. Some parts of Rarity's mane are grey and Twilight grew up to Celestia's size! They're clearly older than that now x)

Going by new evidence from season 6's Applejack's Day Off
I believe one 'Moon' = one week
Meaning 30 moons will be 7 and 1/2 months
and 100 moons would be around two years

This also works out because, on the very very first episode the Apple's were having a family reunion
Then in Season 3 they have another one

The seasons are (in our world) one year apart from each other, and one year = 52 weeks

So two years will be 104 weeks -  those two yeas will be all of Season 1 and all of Season 2

@Mx. Phoenix (They\he\it\neos) not sure! that was four years ago!

@Ayla Nassen If 100 moons is 100 years how can they do a family reunion every 100 years and applebloom be at 2 reunions and still be a filly???

Just because one season was published once a year doesn’t mean that in their world 1 year also happened. It’s probably way shorter.

We have atleast two onscreen winters between season 1 and 4 though, first time in "Winter wrap up" and second time in "Hearth's Warming Eve"

Having only one year passing between these two would require the episodes to not be released in chronological order, which I hope is not the case.

Taking all events happened into consideration, season 1 alone would already be atleast 3 years long.

But if each season is another year in their world, it doesn't make sense for CMC to still look the same

But in the last episode they said that the mane 6 would meet once a moon n I’m pretty sure they won’t travel from ponyville to canterlot n back every week since they r older  n have their own lives now......I’m pretty sure one moon is one month

@BaseSPEEDPAINT yt 1000 years or moons, idk

@eatornator3000 depends on how many moons she was locked up

@james the soldier oh sorry  but like wouldn't they be dead on the first family reunion but it's a kids show though it would make more sense if it was a month but it's not so that means my conspiracy theory was right <b>apple bloom will not grow</b>

@Lisa Dann its actually a yr in mlp not a month

@Lisa Dann ya i said that to but it means years in mlp apperintly

No see a moon is a a full moon and every month there is full moon so a moon would be month

@james the soldier its fine u just wanted me to explain

@james the soldier well i actually look it up and it said this That means 100 moons have passed between "Friendship is Magic" and "Apple Family Reunion" According to the S4 Premiere, the events of Seasons 1-3 all occurred within the same year. That means that 100 moons < 1 equestrian year.

@BaseSPEEDPAINT yt it just seems like a moon is a month

@james the soldier its roughly a year so every year they take photos but as theorized they must of lost some

Ugly-Duckling 123 <br>That’s actually a good theory

Ugly-Duckling 123
That’s actually a good theory

@MetalGearPony As Twilight, Rarity and Spike head to Sweet Apple Acres, Rarity tells them that she and Applejack haven't had a spa day in 'moons'

The very first episode took place on (or maybe the day before) the Summer Sun Celebration, the pony version of the summer solstice

We see another Summer Sun Celebration a few seasons later, I don't remember which season, it was either 3 or 4, but unless the show decided to skip over such an important event, that would be exactly 1 year

But according to Season 4 Episode 1, everything in Seasons 1-3 happened within Twilight's first year in Ponyville (S4E1 takes place on the Summer Sun Celebration directly after S1E1)

@Apino yeah i was a bit confused in those episodes

@Rainbow Cookie Do you mean when PonyVille was founded? Because I don't think Grannysmith is thousands of years old.

We have 9 seasons now and it has been Aired for 9 years now 1 season = one year
I dont think Ponies age that much
9 years apple Bloom is still a kid pony
And granny Smith is a bit weird
She was there when Equestria was made
But she was older in one episode or so so the Reunion must have Been before equestria was made but that does not make sence

wow alot of shit happens to equestria in one year....

Season one through season four is one year.

Nope. I personally believe that one month equals one moon. Like he said in the video, fam.


The "moon" time measurement thing does get confusing sometimes. I do wish the exact equivalent was stated somewhere, but your theory is pretty interesting too. Thanks for sharing this with us! ^_^<br>If Equestria relies on the princesses to raise the sun and moon, what would have happened if there hadn't been any unicorns or alicorns at all? Would the sun and moon move on their own like the clouds in the Everfree Forest? The science and logic of the MLP world is puzzling. ^_^;

So here is my take:

The only reason why Luna would need to revolve the moon around the planet would be if the moon were too far away from its orbit. If the moon were that far away, the planet's axial tilt would have been too unstable for life to form and therefore Luna would not have been able to have been born.

Also, as I have likely mentioned somewhere else, in order for a geocentric system on a life-supporting Earth to take place, the star would need to be barely large enough for a star to form and barely inside of Earth's orbit. This means that in order for a geocentric Equus or whatever, its gravitational pull would need to be equal to or greater than that of Earth's, as any less would mean no star could form that could support life on a geocentric Equus. Adding to that, there is evidence to believe that the gravity on Equus is likely equal to Earth's gravity at most. The tree that houses the Castle of Friendship towers over the huts of Ponyville at about 6 times the height of a standard hut, meaning that it is likely to be about 180 feet in height, assuming one story is 10 feet and the huts are 3 stories high at most in the image I am referencing https://images.app.goo.gl/GtRKXrwLdE39w3rA6. Even if there were more than 3 stories on a particular hut, meaning the tree is over 180 feet high, this still means that the tree is, at least, approximately the height of a giant sequoia, which is so tall because of the lack of disease-carrying relatives in the areas they are located in. The tree housing the Castle of Friendship, however, does have to contend with the Everfree Forest, which has been known to expand into Ponyville on occasion. This means that a tree that large in an area such as Ponyville may be considered unnatural on a planet with a gravitational pull like Earth's, but on a planet with a weaker gravitational tug, where the nutrients of the tree can circulate to higher places, it may be just fine. This means that Equus's gravitational pull is likely equal to Earth's at the very most, thus likely being unable to host a life-supporting star within its orbit.

My theory could possibly be that Granny Smith, like my high school geometry teacher (and possibly Princesses Celestia and Luna), exaggerates the time between events.


Warriors logic- one moon equals one month, the reasoning for this is that they refer to the cycle of the moon, how it takes a month to cycle around, thus, one moon. That makes the most sense to me. :i

Agreed. Before I watched this video, I honestly just assumed one moon was one month because of our moon cycle

<b>BEEEEEEEEEEEEEFFFFFFFFFFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOREEEE</b> you comment, "omg no equestria is a different universe", I said it makes most sense to me. So ye.

*BEEEEEEEEEEEEEFFFFFFFFFFOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOREEEE* you comment, "omg no equestria is a different universe", I said it makes most sense to me. So ye.


Well, it takes about a month to change through all the stages of the moon. So a moon's a month. 100 moons is 100 months. 100 months is... ahh, let's see... 8 years and 4 months.

"I'm Applejack, More apple fritter?"

Awww that’s adorable, that touched my heart🥰


I've thought about this for a good while. It's safe to assume that Equestria uses a lunar calendar and because the show doesn't say how long a lunar month is or how many days each phase of the moon lasts, so I'll use the cycle of our moon. Each phase of our moon lasts 3-8 days, considering that the months of most lunar calendars last between 28-30 days depending on the culture. Considering that like here on Earth, Equestria has 4 seasons with 3 full lunar phases each season. A few things the show is unclear on is how many days in a week they have, how many weeks make up a month, how long each lunar cycle is and how many months make up a year, so it would be safe to assume that 100 moons would be 2-3 years unless some official source comes out giving measurements of time.


A lunar cycle is 28 days on Earth. If things work the same way in Equestria then that's approximately 2800 days or 7 years, 8 months, and 5 days. This will vary depending on the length of a month, leap years, and whether Equestria uses a solar or lunar calendar. I assumed 30 day months, no leap year, and a solar calendar.


I personally feel that 1 moon equals approximately 2 1/2 days. 30 moons would equal 75 days, and 100 moons would be 250-ish days. This corresponds with the fact that Seasons 1 & 3 both contain Apple Family Reunions (S1E1 and S3E8), and, according to S4E1, the first 3 seasons take place during Twilight's first year in Ponyville.


This makes Rainbowdash's seperation from Tank in season five more logical, while not seeing your friend/pet for three months isn't terrible, "It's okay Rainbowdash, you'll see Tank again in another three months." (AJ) factoring this time, it's logical to assume that there are also twelve months in an Equestrian year, this means though AJ says three months, it's more like six months, half a year in our world. Suddenly Rainbow's dread of losing Tank is a lot more important.


every moon is a month. so it's 150 months old that applejack is, and since 12 years is the middle age of most ponies, i'm saying that applejack is an adult in her early 20's in human years. I'm saying that every moon is a month because there is only 1 full moon every month. This also applies to the warrior cats universe aswell


I think that an equestrian year is closer to 50 moons, since the apple family reunion would be every year with the 100 moon year, it seems highly unlikely, the 100 moon year is troublesome, especially with the seasons, either, all the seasons are about twice as long as our own (which, just think of the food stores) or there are two sets of seasons in a year, which is highly unlikely and I would probably find proof against it if I bothered to look at winter wrap up. It's more likely that they measure a year by the passing of the seasons, in ancient times they would let the seasons follow through and become a year, while now it's presice, as we see the ponies make sure that the seasons are on time.


I know I'm a newer fan to the show,for a few weeks now,first I thought moons meant years for them,cause not once I ever heard them say years,but granny smith is old and she's probably been to dozens of family reunions when she was young,so it can't mean years,it has to mean months or a few years or something similar to that


I'm sure someone must have brought this up before, but one Equestrian year is most likely determined by the seasons. The year starts and ends with the beginning of winter or the beginning of spring--or perhaps at mid-winter. And unless the seasons in Equestria are significantly longer than our own, their year is likely similar to ours in length. So 50 moons in 1 year might be a pretty good guess.


I've just thought of a potential theory, but it could be far-reaching. My theory is that an Equestrian year could be equivalent to possibly Jupiter's moon Eurydome, with the length of a year being 717 days. If you divide the number of days it takes Eurydome to orbit around Jupiter by how many days we have per year on Earth (365), we get 1.92, which is almost the exact length of time (2 years) it took in the real world for Twilight to become crowned as the next princess, but only a year in-universe.<br>While this is completely speculative, I think that their years are vastly longer than ours.  This may also explain the odd thing we see in MLP where the moon is usually full in vast majority of episodes. It could also explain the "hundreds of moons" closing of the borders in "Party Pooped". So 1 moon may equal to 717 days. It is my best assumption as some years on other moons are years long or a single orbit could last 7 hours.

so luna was traped on the moon for 1000 years is actualy 2000 earth years

No, it's actually half of our time (500yrs), not double. You got the equation wrong.


One thing you forgot was that the growth of ponies by age is completely different from that of humans. So while Applebloom hasn't changed much, a few years could have passed, as each stage of pony growth lasts about 3 to 6 years, theoretically speaking.

Stage 1: 1 to 4 years - baby;
Stage 2: 5 to 10 years - child;
Stage 3: 11 to 16 years - teen;
Stage 4: 17 to 20 years - next to adult;
Stage 5: 21 years onwards - Adult.

Sorry for the late comment, I just got to know your channel now.


Heres an idea on the photo thing. Early on, photos would most likely require a unicorn who is specialized in pictures. Well there couldn’t have been too many of those walking around that long ago with how young the tech would have been. As time goes on, though you have innovations in the tech. Thus making picture taking a lot simpler and more common. Which is shown by how close together the later pictures seem to be.


8 years would be way too long for horses though. A horse is considered old by age 12 so this would be applebloom’s first ever reunion as a fillie.


100 moons have passed between "Friendship is Magic" and "Apple Family Reunion" According to the S4 Premiere, the events of Seasons 1-3 all occurred within the same year. That means that 100 moons < 1 equestrian year.


I like how we both have similar theory’s of how years works in MLP universe.

1 human year has 12 months. But one of are year equals to 2 years in Equestria. So that means one of their year is about 6 months. So let’s say Princess Celestia is 1000 years old to use that would mean she like 500 years old. MLP Pony’s lifespans probably shorter then human if this is true.

100 moons could refer to 100 lunar cycles (about 10 years).

＊ I’m not at all sure how to feel about Equestria not being earth. One of my favorite dumb things about this series is how the seasons and days work. It’s cool and interesting and brings up so many questions. How did equestria even work before ponies? How did anything evolve? It makes so little sense and I love it. The idea of a regular year cycle is ridiculous in the first place when ushering spring into existence (all at once!) is halfway between a civic duty and a chore. Equestria can’t be on this planet or any planet really. And honestly I find it stupidly endearing.


Most families do family reunions once a year .. so 100 moons being 1 year kinda makes sense ... but its still hard to figure out how much time has passed when they use like 20 moons or 30 moons


An interesting theory but here's a few problems with it, bear in mind this might be a bit of a read so please bear with me.

The first episode of the series was during the Apple Family Reunion as well. Remember that in Apple Buck Season, Twilight asked Applejack why she couldn't get more of her family to help, to which AJ replied "They were all just here for the Apple Family Reunion". Meaning that if 100 moons was a year then there is a big problem because that episode was in the middle of the 3rd season, and as we know from the Season 4 Premiere, that premiere marked the 1 year anniversary for the Mane 6 as it was the same day they met and became friends one year later.

This means that 100 moons cannot equal a year but there must be more than that if every episode is released in chronological order. So unfortunately your theory is kind of destroyed by the writers themselves not being consistent XD

Another problem this causes is mainly due to the fact that of course Equestria (which is a country not a planet btw) is not in our world. Simply put, the seasons are in haywire. In our solar system every planet has their own season but it's still the four and this is all based on the orbit of the planet and where the poles are facing in correlation to the sun. Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter in that order. But see, in the course of the full three seasons that we saw in the one year for Equestria, we had two, count em, two winters. We had Winter Wrap up in Season 1 (two episodes later we had the beginning of Fall with Fall Weather Friends) and then in Season 2 we had Hearths Warming Eve. We do know that pegasi can manipulate the weather and we've seen other episodes that appear to be in the fall despite most clearly being in spring or summer. But again this is a real problem for measuring time in Equestria because their seasonal patterns do not follow any real obvious pattern that would help us identify years.

But a bigger problem also is that since when we view "moons" as lunar cycles, this would mean that the moon in Equestria would have to go through phases as well if this theory is to be correct. Unfortunately every time we see the moon it is always full and never either waxing, waning or new. So this can't be the case unless we are somehow only seeing it during the full phase. Not even in Princess Twilight Sparkle where the sun and moon were both in the sky direct next to each other. The only explanation for how the moon could still be fully illuminated from that angle would mean that the moon is somehow further away and larger than Equestria's sun and either emits light or SOMEHOW is so reflective that even with the full blaze of the sun going it doesn't blot it out.

Furthermore an interesting thing to note also. In the Family Appreciation Day episode it was made clear that Granny Smith was around when Ponyville was founded. Given hear appearance she couldn't have been too much older than the Mane 6 are now (which is really subject). Yet here's where things get very interesting. See in Winter Wrap Up, Twilight said that Ponyville had been doing it without magic "for hundreds of years". So Granny Smith has to be a few hundred years old as not only was it clear that Granny Smith wasn't lying about the events and we know Twilight studies the crap out of everything so wouldn't exactly exaggerate this point either. And if their years are twice as long this would imply that in how we view time, Granny Smith is potentially between 4000 and 1,000 years old (as exactly how many "hundreds of years" that means).

My point is basically, don't try to put logic into the show, it won't work cause it's a world of magical talking technicolor ponies. Don't get me wrong, I kinda wanna figure some of this out too but at the end of the day there's too many inconsistencies that make theories like this next to impossible to work out while taking everything into consideration.

Can someone summarize is because it was TL:DR

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO WRITE THAT!!!   jk ---->  YOU DOING AN ESSAY O.o

( lol but 4 real that a lot O.o )

Maybe they don't run off of seasons to make their years? Seeing as they aren't humans and don't do everything w do it might be that seasons don't effect the way the year goes around. Any rouge pegasi could change it from winter to summer any time they want (Like in fall weather friends )so having the ability to do this would change the way they see a year.

how long did it take you to write this..

@Ditb Aj That's true but it's not what they typically mean. A moon is a full moon cycle.

What I thought was that moons were days. Because they don't say "full moon" or " half moon" ( correct me if I'm wrong) and there are moons everyday, even if it's a new moon. Yeah :3

Travis Smith Oh wow, that's true. We don't know anything of what's beyond Equestria. They could have a different way of telling time too. Not to mention a different rate at which their seasons change. Honestly everything that tries to explain logic in that show just messes logic up even more. You guys are all making really good points.

It gets really weird when you consider that when the Everfree Forest was introduced it freaked the ponies out that the weather and animals took care of themselves. Further work in that Celestia and Luna only cover Equestria but there are clear references to things beyond Equestria (and there are delegates to things from areas implicitly part of Equestria, so I think it is something of a republic) it seems all of this control is localized. What happens at the boarders? The sun must rise and set, as must the moon, in YakYakistan (beyond even the most extreme part of what could be considered Equestria) or Terik's homeland (stated explicitly to be beyond Equestria). So could the sun set in Equestria while it is mid-day in YakYakistan? What of those outlying lands when Nightmare Moon did not remove the moon/blocked out the sun with the moon?

But between what I've heard about Mz. Faust's experiences and Transformers gen. 1's Hasbro approved "you don't need a big story board fix it in editing" approach to continuity I doubt the writers have the support needed to keep track of such details.

You just proved @theponywiththerainbow's word: may still be called what it's called, but whether they wanna please the older fans doesn't mean anything before the target audience description changes, which'll take more than just changing the episodes to be less appropriate for the original target audience.

@theponywiththeorangebow They're still the targetted demographic and is still classified as a children's animated fantasy television series.

TheBelieveit1 Oh come on, I think we all know it isn't really aimed at kids anymore. I mean sure it's still appropriate for them, but the staff knows they need to please their older fans as well, and that's what they're doing.

@theponywiththeorangebow I don't think so either. There's a lot of other things to consider that won't come up I am certain, but what can yah do? At the end of the day it's a kids' show about magical talking technicolor ponies.

This, and your reply to another comment below, just blew my mind. There's really a lot to consider. I don't think the writers of the show thought any of this through. Until they release a canon time conversion, we simply won't know. Especially since their seasons, weather, sun, and moon are controlled manually, as you pointed out.

TheBelieveit1 THAT IS TOO MUCH,I REPEAT TOO MUCH

@rautamiekka Ah but they are clearly points where there is continuity. It's when the seasonal changes like summer and winter come about that the continuity really falls apart. The only real safe thing, in my mind at least, to argue with this is that Equestria goes through strange seasons. I sort of accept this idea simply on the grounds that the weather, and thus the seasons, are dictated by the Pegasi and their weather management.

All in all, it's kinda silly to try and decifer  how years and time in general passes in a world where seasons and even night and day are controlled manually.

The episodes are in no particular order: in one ep it's summer and in the next one a winter.

@justlike fire There's a lot to point out.


I know it's been a LONG while since this video was uploaded but I've found solid evidence for what I beleive in. Just watched "Grannies Gone Wild" where Applejack said that their trip to Las Pegasus is annual, and just before they get into the Wild Blue Yonder while walking up the stairs to it, Goldie Delicious says that they've been going there every moon since that they can remember, so yeah the basic train of thought was right all along that 1 Moon = 1 Year.


Great theory and speculation, but there is a flaw in your conclusion: ages. If equestrian years are twice as long as Earth years, why did 5-years-old applebloom from that flashback looked and acted like a five years old and not like, well, a ten years old? You could say that ponies age slower than humans, but in this case, human-twilight would be a 40-years-old lady, not a goddamn teenager.

Maybe I can answer to this. I'm actually sure that 1 moon is around 1 MONTH. Let me explain:
At school, in history class, I learned that Incas people use lunar calendars because they praise the Moon. My history teacher told me that they count the number of times that the Full Moon was back in ONE year (with the calendar). He also told that for the Incas people 1 moon is equal to 28 days, so about 1 month. So, we could guess that 100 moons is 100 months.
And, I'm agree with the fact that Equestria isn't Earth so maybe what I say is false. Because Apple Bloom didn't changed at all since the last Apple Family Reunion: it means that at Equestria, the duration of a moon is not equal to the duration of a moon for US. But, I really don't know, nothing is confirmed, all what I'm sure, is that ONE moon is 1 month in Earth.
Here is my thought about that and hope what I say is logical! c:


"and we know a year couldnt possibly be one day"<br>all the planets whose year is less than a day: am i a joke to you?

"and we know a year couldnt possibly be one day"
all the planets whose year is less than a day: am i a joke to you?


A moon is mostly likely a Month.
So 100 moons (or months) is just over 8 years.
Meaning Granny Smith could easily have been at almost/all of the reunions.

Anonymous Candle WHY CAN'T UNDERSTAND ENYTHING COMMENT'S ARE SAYING!?!?!??btw i'm useing my dad's acount


Alternitivly the lunar cycles of both "Earth" and Equestira are somewhat synchronized... (As in 100 moons on earth is 100 moons on equestira so either ponies age slower than humans  or time flows differently across dimensions/planes... )


Sawtooth waves said “ how long is 100 moon”
Lona “ 100 nights  is 100 moons”
The moon “ yes she is correct”


Old video, but you overlooked an obvious explanation for why Apple Bloom doesn't look much younger in the previous reunion picture. The Apples had an extra reunion when the a large number of the family was in town anyway for the Summer Sun Celebration in Ponyville. It wasn't their typical 100 moon reunion, but kind of a mini reunion they had for the occasion. That would be where the picture including Apple Bloom would have come from. Since seasons 1-3 all take place in one year; the Apple Family reunion episode would have been less than a year after the first Summer Sun celebration, but they had another reunion anyway since that was when the traditional 100 moons reunion was supposed to be. It also would explain why there weren't nearly as many in that photo, perhaps some of the family just couldn't make it to the one during the summer sun celebration and knew another reunion was less than a year away, so they didn't worry about it.

1 moon being 1 month just works too well with the EQG story line. In the first movie, Twilight's friends talk about the freshman fair as if it were the last time they were all friends, and they look obviously younger in the picture. To work with the EQG story line, including later movies and specials, I think in the first movie, they're all in their junior year. That especially makes sense to me, since in my own high school, it was the junior class that was in charge of the fall dance, while it was the seniors that put on prom in the spring. We know it was Sunset that split them apart, and in Forgotten Friendship, Pinkie even says it was in freshman year when some of it happened, which would be at least two years earlier. Assuming Sunset took some time to get herself situated and figure things out in the human world she'd probably been there since before the start of the freshman year which would be around two and a half years, or 30 months.

Most likely when she first went through the portal, Sunset arrived in the mid to late spring before their freshman year, giving her enough time to get herself set up in the world before starting school. Then two and a half years or 30 months later, the portal opens again and EQG1 happens. And I don't think the portal could have opened in between because I really doubt Sunset would have skipped the portal opening, and neither would Celestia. Really, I think Celestia had been planning to send Twilight through to find Sunset anyway, and that was the whole reason she arranged for Twilight to be there when the portal opened. She was probably going to explain that morning and ask Twilight to go and look for her, but then Sunset stole the crown and it was the perfect excuse. It's clear Celestia still cared about Sunset even then, and had likely been worried about her; after all what was the very first thing she asked when Twilight got back; "Sunset Shimmer; is she alright?"


I believe that a month is a moon because in one episode (I don't remember the name), Pinkie Pie, Maud, and Rarity were doing PSSD and the store owner that Pinke was going to visit was on a vacation. No one would vacation for two years, especially not in Manehatten. The store wouldn't exist anymore or AT LEAST have someone else running it. And a moon is usually focused on the moon's cycle, where there is a full moon every month.


the mirror portal always leads to what used to be a statue outside CHS. so that means that the Canterlot and CHS share the exact same position in time and space. when the mirror was brought to Twilight's castle, there was a shift in the time-space continuum, resulting in multiple portals being created. where's Dr Whooves when you need him?!


I think 100 moons is just under a year. Reasoning: Season 1 Episode 1) Twilight is sent to Ponyville to arrange the summer sun celebration, at this time there are many many apples. Applejack explains this in Ep4 Applebuck Season saying "They were just here for the Apple family reunion. They actually live all over Equestria..."

The next family reunion is of course Season 3 Ep 8 Apple Family Reunion. Not much to figure here, it's the next reunion.

The next Summer Sun celebration is Season 4 Ep1/2 Princess Twilight Sparkle, this is indicated by Celestia saying "I must admit that it is wonderful to actually be looking forward to the Summer Sun Celebration."


There was a reunion at beginning of season 1 and then one in 3.

In 4 there is evidence that season 1 - 3 is all one year because in 4x1 Celestia says something about how she hated the summer sun celebration because it reminded her of how she banished her sister but now it’s a Joyce occasion of how they are reunited. If there was summer sun celebration after the pilot and before 4x1 then twilight should already know that Celestia hated the summer sun celebration. Celestia wouldn’t have said “now it’s a Joyce occasion about her transformation” because if there was one before then she wouldn’t have to say that because twilight and Equestria would already know.

Anyway, I think 100 moons is 200 days meaning a moon would be two days. this would make sense based on the fact season 1-3 is a year. There isn’t any idea how long of a gap between 3-4 there is but I can assume not a lot. AB in season 3 is around 10 and 9 in season 1 so it would make sense that only 200 days have gone by and she wouldn’t have changed. I also feel the third photo in the album of reunion Is the one before the season 1 opening because there was clearly more ponies there.

I’m probably just talking nonsense.

1-3 seasons couldn't be one year just because they have winters both in 1 and 2 seasons (ep 11x1 and 11x2). With everything else taking place in summers, there is at least 2 years between seasons 1 and 3


Now here's a flaw.  if 100 moons is a year, and a moon is X days long.  then a year would be a very long time in terms of days if it was more than 4 days per moon cycle.  I think it has been observed in MLP that Twilight has been in Equestria for multiple Winter rap ups, Nightmare nights, and Hearts-warmings.  So let's say a moon cycle is 10 days long. gives us a year of a thousand days.

for a year in Equestria if it is 50 or 100 moon if you are right, then the CMC shouldn't need to be at school for that whole time.  That equates to 500 or 1000 days a year.

Here is a different approach, that the photos are not quite right.  we can maybe assume that it's photo drawn quickly without full thought.  What we know is that a couple of family gatherings back AJ was just a baby, she is now a fully grown adult, so maybe we can consider that 100 moons is several years.  So maybe a year is more like 20 moons with a 20-day cycle?  making an equestrian year 400 days.  which is not that much longer than our calendar.  I am not saying that I am right, but a variation of that makes more sence.


I tend to go with the 1 Moon=1 day approach.  After all, we see in Princess Twilight Sparkle that with both the Sun and the Moon in the sky,  Resulting in this weird half-day half-night effect. The only way that that could be the case is if the Moon was generating its own light that had a quality of negating and matching the light of the Sun. This means that the Sun light reflecting off the moon would not actually do anything.<br>Further, in Equestria girls, it is clear that Sunset Shimmer came through the portal knowing not only that Twilight had uncovered the Elements, but also sufficiently aware of what the element of magic would look like to bring a reasonable copy to replace it with. On top of all that, she knew that Twilight would be present, within easy striking distance, on the other side of the mirror. To me, this means that she must have come through the portal between Twilight's Coronation and the Princess Summit. This would let her know that the Summit was going on in the same castle and on the same night that the portal would be opening. As well as see Twilight in her crown. This means a length of time longer than 30 days is unlikely.

Actually, my theory is that one moon is about a day, which means she was on the Moon over 300000 Moons(give or take, based on how many days are in an equestrian year).

Does anyone realise that if 100 moons is 1 year, then Princess Luna was banished to the Moon for 100000 moons.

There are a number of reasons why Moons should not be a month.
First, it is not a Warriors reference. "Moons" on Earth are used to indicate the amount of time it takes for the Earth's Moon to go through its phases. It is well established, however, that Equestria's Moon functions nothing like this (Luna moves it, it orbits each day, it produces its own light, etc.).
Second, the Apple family reunion is supposed to happen every 100 moons, and has happened twice during the series. There is no way seven years have passed in that time.
Finally, the portal to the Human world opens once every 30 moons, yet somehow, Sunset Shimmer knew not only that Twilight retrieved the Elements of Harmony and become a Princess, but where she would be, and what the Element of Magic would look like. If she had had no access to Equestria for two and a half years, there is no way she could have known those things before she came through, barring some unmentioned source of Prophetic knowledge. She had to have been able to return in the time since Twilight became a Princess and the Princess Summit was scheduled. Otherwise, it is a ridiculous level of Coincidence.

I don't headcanon for Profit. I headcanon for fun, and for my own sense of Continuity.

@Skye Silverwing
1) Realize the writers weren't thinking of the continuity.
2) Headcanon it anyway.
3) ????
4) Profit!

I hate that kind of reasoning. It is out-of-continuity reasoning. I prefer to think in-continuity. Within the world, why is this the case? you know what I mean? Sure the real reason is that the writers were rushed and not very well continuity checked, but that does not mean that there is not still continuity to consider.

@Skye Silverwing<br>And then there's always the chance that the writers just didn't think this deeply into it and it's just us fans who're scrambling around trying to make sense of it all. :ponyshrug:

I would be far more apt to believe the "inexplicably parallel" idea if the pictures we see of Sunset in previous Princess Crowns had shown the crowns as being those of Celestia, Luna, and Cadence, giving us reason to believe that Sunset saw the progression and realized what was coming... Still doesn't explain how Sunset knew Twilight was there, or knew her way around the Chrystal Castle (Which was missing the entire time she was alive and in Equestria) well enough to find Twilight's room.
Unless... I suppose it is possible that the portal could have opened a day early, and Sunset slipped in to see what was going on and saw Twilight getting ushered in, crown and all, and then recognized the crown as the Element of Harmony and a coincidental perfect match for the current High School crown and built the attempted switch into her plan to steal it.
Still, it all seems very coincidental to me. I prefer the idea that she had seen all she needed to the previous month, had the crown made, and put the whole thing in motion as part of her nefarious evil scheme.
Of course, I have also heard the idea that she may have had some sort of Magic Mcguffin that gave her all the information she needed up until she got involved herself.

@Skye Silverwing<br>I let that fall to the "parallel worlds will be inexplicably parallel" explanation, where, by pure interdimensional plot convenience, the newest crown made at Canterlot High is destined to be all but indistinguishable (minus the magic powers, obviously) from the newest crown in Equestria. Parallel world stories often tend to have the same thing showing up for different reasons and purposes in each world, so I'm just used to that by now. Maybe Sunset had advanced-level knowledge in the mechanics of parallel worlds and expected-slash-really-really-hoped that it would hold true in this case, and it just so happened that it did.

Except fluttershy saw the crown and immediately recognized it as needing to go to Celestia. If it only existed for a few days, I don't think Fluttershy would have been able to recognize it. Surely, the portal could not have been standing open for more than a week.

Maybe the Portal had opened a day or two before Sunset made her move, as it's open for several days at a time, giving her time to scope out the situation?


I don't see why the Equestrian year wouldn't be roughly the same length as ours

Yes, 100 is a nice round number (to us, why would a fingerless species use base 10 to count things?) but it's also a lot

The Fahrenheit scale for temperature was originally supposed to have 360 degrees between the freezing and boiling of water (the number of degrees in a circle) but instead it has 180, because 360 is far too much

I see no reason why 50 moons wouldn't be a year, it's also a convenient number

But as I said earlier, why would ponies use base 10? Maybe 100 to them is an entire different number than 100 is to us


Don’t you remember??? In the first episode of the first season they had so many family members when twilight was at the farm and in the 4th episode of the 1st season (I think) applejack told twilight that it was her family reunion when twilight asked her if her other family members could help her with the apple bucking. But then they had another reunion!<br>   So honestly I think 100 moons isn’t that long

I’m no theorist but, maybe you can take into account that on the very first episode of mlp fim applejack has an apple family reunion, and the next known reunion is in apple family reunion. Maybe if you can somehow figure out the time line in between that, you can figure it out?


100 moons are 100 months since "The Moon" Orbits the earth once every month and in finnish --- Month = Kuukausi - Moon = Kuu - Season = Kausi so in finnish Month = Kuukausi = MoonSeason.


In my language moon and month are the same word (it's měsíc for anyone wondering), so I suppose one moon is one month?


So... The moon on equestria is in a geosynchronous orbit? and if it is, then it should be smaller because it's in a lower orbit and it's apparent diameter should be at least 0° 33' 2.08" for it to appear as large as our own moon. Moreover, it is evident that the equestrian moon is tidally locked since it shows the same face, as is the case with our own moon. Also, the size of the moon greatly affects tides on equestrias' oceans.


Wait, if apple bloom was around the same age in the previous reunion (give or take a few years) why was granny explaining the reunion to her in the episode.🤔


Woah imagine being in-prisoned in the moon for 10 years


I have an idea, you could count how many years 30 “Moons” go by, counting how many photos of Sunset Schimer in school.She was photographed every year as the "Queen of the School."Although it will be Earth years, but it is at least something.

У меня идея, ты мог бы посчитать сколько лет проходит 30 "Лун" , посчитав сколько фотографий Сансет Шимер в школе.
Она же каждый год фотографировалась, как "Королева школы".
Хотя это будут земные года, но это хоть что то.

Дмитрий Крыжановский


I wonder what do you think about girls' ages relative to each other. Only canon that I know of is that Fluttershy is a year older than Pinkie. Also, it's safe to assume Shy and Dash are classmates, why else would they know each other so well?

My headcanon goes like this:

Twilight (youngest)
Pinkie Pie (+1yr)
Dash, Fluttershy, AJ (+2yr)
Rarity (who I assume to be anywhere between 3-7yrs older than Twi, she's most 'adult' of all judging by her career and personality)


So if 1 moon is month, that means twilight would've had to try and survive over 2 years in the normal world if she didn't get back in time

Geez


“How long is a moon?”

*warriors fandom comments intensified*

“How long is a moon?”

**warriors fandom comments intensified**

Meow! Im s*n0wk!t

Yes im snowkit im alive i know moons but mostly snow and snow snow snow and snow


They have a normal Earth year and I can prove it. In S1 EPS 11 "Winter Wrap Up," Rainbow Dash starts the Winter Wrap Up song with "3 months of winter..." This would not be possible unless they had an Earth year, Unless the planets angle shifts drastically ever so often. Obviously, this would be a little too much, even for MLP.


It goes off the moon cycle. Every new full/new moon( I can’t remember) a new moon starts.


The book, Journal of the Two Sisters, states that Celestia was born as an Alicorn. She and her sister Luna would be asked by the Unicorn Starswirl the Bearded to rule the newly formed kingdom of Equestria, as Alicorns had traits of all three kinds of ponies.


Doesn't anyone remember that in applebuck season applejack said that they had their family reunion on the first episode? And on the 1st episode of season 4 it is the next summer sun celebration so it has been a year. So every reunion must happen a little bit before a year knowing  that apple family reunion is in season 3!

@Bella Daisy She says "It's the thousandth year of the Summer Sun Celebration" meaning that it's the thousandth time the celebration has happened.

@Darien Hilmerson Quite logical, but still very strange, perhaps the summer sun celebration got pushed back. and by part the date changed? Instead of the date that Nightmare Moon was banished, it was changed to the date Princess Luna returned? It seems very odd not to hold the reunion on the same date each year, so that the family can plan around it, instead of the inverse.<br>(Yeah I know, I doubt that Equestria would've stayed without celestia very long, as Nightmare Moon returned EXACTLY 1000 years later, and that it SEEMS that all of episode 1/2 happened in one night.)

That's exactly what I was about to say! (Just found this channel hence the late reply...)

@Peter Molitor So, basically, you believe that Hearth's Warming Eve is the only episode between Lesson Zero and Mystery on the Friendship Express that happened before Season 2? Well, have luck with that. I'll keep my theory though.

I think that is a good guess if you forget that the episodes are not in any order roughly before season 4

@the shadowlink ninja And who exactly tells us how much time runs past between Seasons (or even episodes)?

@dlegofan
That makes pretty good sense, actually.

I wouldn't know, math and science are my two absolute WORST subjects

You see, everyone forgets that from the Summer Sun Celebration in Friendship is Magic to the Summer Sun Celebration in Princess Twilight Sparkle 2 years had passed. There's no way that 2 winters had passed between the 2 Summer Sun Celebration, and since we have the end of winter in Winter Wrap-up and the winter in Hearth's Warming Eve it means that there was one Summer Sun Celebration between them. So, it means that two years would have passed from the beginning of season 1 to the beginning of season 4, this means that the Apple Family Reunion happens every 2 years (100 moons), which means that as Notion first stated, 1 years equals 50 moons.

The summer sun festabel is like the summer solstes and new year

I can't spell so sorry selestia said we must rid ourselves of are magic so that equstra AND the lads beound it might be saved so it is not a planet just twilights kingdom

or maybe my little pony has a different time period. cuz they dont live on earth maybe they live on another planet or Equestria is a planet. Just like on Jupiter or Mars they have more earth nights in one day or something. Maybe Equestria is different and maybe 20 days is a month or 12 days but all I know we don't know they just probably have a different time period

I find it rather unlikely that the summer sun celebration would be yearly and the MLP cast cast could not have been so close and go on that many adventures in 1 year and in baby cakes it's stated 1 yea month has pasted and it's not said they have done anything but of course they would have because in I don't know anymore

@Bella Daisy<br>Uhh...? "Every hundred thousand years"? The Summer Sun Celebration has been seen happening three times so far in Twilight's life, so...

@Bella Daisy
Uhh...? "Every hundred thousand years"? The Summer Sun Celebration has been seen happening three times so far in Twilight's life, so...

phew I thought I was the only one and know one else thought it

but the summer sun celebration happens every hundred thousand years not every year remember Twilight said that in the first episode

But then again, maybe Equestrian year isn't the same time as the earth year

That confused me too... Check out my video called "Apple Family Reunion Mess Up"

While I do agree, who says there is consistency, the Apple family can't get the schedlaling right every time.

Since full moons occur every 28 days. I always thought 100 moons meant several years, in human time

Yes, which would mostly fit in line with his theory. It would be 100 moons between reunions, so each year is just a little more than 100 moons. Of course that's assuming the second reunion takes place chronologically before the second Summer Sun Celebration, which may not be so.


Equestria has more than one moon so the idea of a lunar cycle is really inconsistent because no one is exactly sure which moon they're talking about but everyone is too embarrassed to admit it so they just pretend they know how long a moon is but in reality, no one in Equestria actually knows.


If there are 100 moons in a Equestrian Year and a Equestrian Year is twice the length at would make a moon roughly one Earth week, which would mean Twilight and her friends meet once a week.


The CMC are just eternally... whatever age they are. I wish they had gotten at least a little physical growth in the show.


Me: wits wittier cats?
Baby applejack: cuteness
Me: eyes as big as lemons going ‘’AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW’’


100 moons = 2 of our years? That would make Celestia's statement of their being 1 year between the pilot and season 4 premiere feel like it makes more sense, given everything that's happened. But Equestria NOT being Earth also means they don't need to have all four seasons.

@Ben N This theory is now further backed up by 'Tanks For the Memories' being the first Running of the Leaves, and 'Make New Friends But Keep Discord' being the first Gala since season 1. Too much has happened for seasons 1 to 4 to be one of our years, so it stands to reason that 1 Equestrian year is more equal to two of our years than to one.


I always thought that moons meant years. It’s used in Warriors, too.

Ася Карнаухова


There's something very wrong in the show. The first picture in the album shows granny Smith a little foal but in another episode granny tells us that she discovered ponyville when she was at least a little younger than apple jack.


I feel like 100 moons wouldn’t equal a year. Why not just say “we have a family reunion every year” then?

Red Midnight Rose years are mentioned frequently. Luna was banished to the moon until “the longest day of the thousandth year”. Discord was a statue for a thousand years or more I think. Rarity says the council of friendship is how they’ve ruled together over the years.

Hm true but this is equestria we are talking about here. I don't think they use 'years' there but this is just my opinion anyway. I dont think they even mentioned the word 'years' throughout the series but correct me if I'm wrong


just wanna point out that during a play, applejack names the new land 'earth' 3:45


Actually, four of our years equal to one Equestrian year. Just think about it. Season one episode one took place during the Summer Sun Celebration. Fast forward to season four episode one. Celestia said that it was Luna's first SSC since her return. Given that time remains constant between our world and theirs, and that there was one season per year, gives us one Equestrian year to one of our years.


Him “ an equestrian yer is twice as long as one of our yer”<br>The earth “ no if an equestrian yer is 100 days and our yer is 365 then our yer is longer”

Him “ an equestrian yer is twice as long as one of our yer”
The earth “ no if an equestrian yer is 100 days and our yer is 365 then our yer is longer”


I agree with the first part of the theory, but you said 100 moons was 2 years for the Apple family reunion. Then less than a minute later you said you thought 100 moons was 1 year??


I have a theory! even tho this is 5 years late so ponys dont age as quick as humans do so 100 moon can still be 8 years because look at an image of twilight from season 1 and then an image of twilight from season 9 twilight hasn't really gotten that big and 1 episode is 1 week because before twilight wrote reports to princess celestia she did one every episode and the reports were weekly so 26 x 9 = 234 thats 234 WEEKS and twighlight hasnt aged much and look at like rainbow dash season 1 to season 9 like all the ponys dont age that quick and 234 x 7 is 1638 then do 1638 / 365 and u get 4.4 years so twighlight doesnt age like at all through 4.4 YEARS so then that could be 50ish moons so if they went to season 18 we might've seen an apple reunion 2


"How long is a 'moon'"

The endless UFP debate, I see


Well in warriors 1 moon is a month, but as you said this is the pony world not earth. As warrior cats known it. So I'm just guessing that 1 moon is a month.


Typically, a moon is a month, as in a full cycle of the moon making a month.


AHEM I figured it out!
Season 7 episode 10 after starlight spends the evening with Luna twilight says,
“The last time celestia and Luna fought, celestia had to banish her for 1000 years !”
And for the rest of the series it’s referred to as 1000 moons
In conclusion 1 moon = one year

One year in equestria is 3 seasons because in the first episode of season 1 it was the summer sun celebration or whatever it was called and in the first episode of season 4 Celestia said that it was the summer sun celebration since Luna came back from moon, it doesn’t have anything to do with how long a moon is but maybe someone smart can use this and measure the time between the apple family reunions.


How long is a moon? Simple! Find Luna, pull out a ruler, measure her width, and there's your answer!

+brian solorzano  you mean "B-Bleven...teen"

@GlitchyShadow13 "How long is the moon?"Eleventeen. o~0


@Sawtooth I think "moon" is a month. I also think it's the same way that the Disney Fairies movies use it. In Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure, The calendar showed one month until the Autumn Relvery, and Terence said that equals to a moon.


So if 100 moons is 1 year then they have a family reunion every year?


If Equestria took place on the Moon (think the Lunar RPG series) and Earth is actually Equestria's Moon (rotate frame 0:26 90° to the right). Then 100 Moons is 100 Earth days, or around 3.33 Earth months.

The Apple family have a reunion around each change of a season on Earth's subtropical area, or 1/4 of an Earth year. It makes sense for them as farmers to base their reunion on each change of season on their Moon. Think of it as farmers using the whole 'Harvest Moon' method.

Daytime or Nightime for them is 15 Moons, or 15 Earth days.

Of course IF Equestria Girls took place on Earth, then 6 Moons there will be around 180 Moons on Equestria.

Example: At Manehattan. The owner of the store Pinkie Pie want to buy the Pouch for Maud Pie, left the store closed for a few Moons.

So a Moon is NOT the rough equivalent of an Earth's Month or Week. Because there's no indication that the store would be closed for a few weeks or so (the windows would be closed with curtains). Unless the store owner is just plain psycho like Pinkie Pie, or had an emergency.

Canterlot vacation for a few Moons with the grand niece.

The episode implied, if Pinkie Pie just wait a few more days, the store would open. But she doesn't have days, she's only in town for that day, and she needs the Pouch in a hurry.

So 1 Equestria Moon ≈ 1 Earth Day.

Because… who suddenly left an uncovered store for weeks?

The actual developers of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic are actually quite adept at hinting how long a Moon is. In the Pouch episode, the store is basically left quite open for a few Moons/(Days).

It's okay, right? The Pony World is a relatively safe place, right? Surely it's also protected by magic, right?

Well, there's that female cop, plus that 'Larry the Pony' who wants to touch Pinkie Pie's 'sweet party cannon'. Not so safe.

Eventhough the entire episode felt like it was taken from the Sex and the City (or Sex in the City) TV series.

And ah yes, Princess Luna said hi. She also wanted to tell you that Princess Kaguya's story was based on her own 'banishment'. Eventhough Twilight Sparkle's look and feel was based on the typical Princess Kaguya look and feel.


one moon = one year!

I've been watching MLP on serbian,
And when they would say "moon" it automatically would be "year"


I remember in Warriors (This book with the clan of cats) they tell that they have 1 moon or 2 moon for their âge, the moons if i remember here are 1 moon for 1 mounth. So the moons can be in equestria the Same ?

@Melissa Kittelson  @some abomination from another dimension  Thanks you two, so I wasn't wrong in my assumption it was a month. Even tho it's now been years since I wrote this comment XD

Im just lazy to actually state this as a wc and mlp world

A moon in warriors is a month, it marks the start and end of the moon's cycle

@some abomination from another dimension  oh.

@Kaylee Molina i think a moon in warriors is one month,remember they have gatherings in full moons and i'm pretty sure they dont do it once a year lol

@Kaylee Molina That is a fact that i'm not going to deny. It's just that I made that comment 3 years ago so I don't even remember what the video was about XD

@Meillineidk how long a moon is, but your is your opinon and my opinon is my opinon.

@Kaylee Molina It also sounded like they count the full moon, plus in Warriors, they are cat, which would understand why it's maybe not years

@Meilline i do not read those books, but even tho i think that maybe a moon is a year.

@Kaylee Molina I don't really recall to be honnest, I didn't read any of those books in a long time.

@Meilline no, maybe more like 1 year per moon?

Ps: Sorry if my english is wrong, i'm french x3


You should remake this, because in the episode where rainbow dash tries to stop winter. Applejack mentions that winter will be over in a few months. Just an addition :)


When the writers want to mess with children's minds and instead of SIMPLY saying days, months, years etc. They went and said MOONS. ARRRRGGGHHHHH <br>Lauren Faust WHHHHHHHHYYYYY

Have you considered that the first episode when Twilight arrived in ponyville, she meets applejack, and later on when twilight asks about "all the ponies at the farm" when they first met, AJ was like Nawww that was just the apple family reunion.


Doctor: you have 5 more to live.
Teacher: 5 what? 5 apples? 5 bananas?
Doctor: 4...3...
Teacher: ...


My cousin is a warrior cats fan and she tells me some stuff, so I do know moon = Month so 100 months and if you do the math...<br>8×12+4...so 8 years and 4 months.

<b>2015</b> feels like yesterday I watched this come out 😖

*2015* feels like yesterday I watched this come out 😖


What if the princesses instead of moving the sun and moon they move equestria(planet) around


I don't think the sun goes around Equestria. Celestia and Luna just lift the sun and moon up and down. Considering that, i have no idea what they mean by a "moon" or how they would measure it.
So how long is an Equestrian moon? However long the writers need it to be.
From Ponyville to Canterlot is far enough that it requires an overnight sleeper trip, or you can hop over and back in an afternoon jaunt. Canterlot is visible from Ponyville in some stories, and even Manehatten is close enough to see a Rainboom over Sweet Apple Acres.
If distances are negotiable, why not time?
