      I READ SOMEWHERE THAT MANY OF THE  VERY ANCIENT CALENDERS ARE BASED ON A 
360 DAY YEAR---------IF SO THIS WOULD MEAN THE EARTH WOULD HAVE TO BE CLOSER TO 
THE SUN IN ITS ORBIT-------MY QUESTIONS ARE 1--IS THIS TRUE?  2--WHAT COULD 
CAUSE A CHANGE IN EARTHS ORBIT?
                                     THANK YOU ----PAUL A. TACKMAN
