Four weeks is not exactly one month. A month typically ranges from 28 to 31 days, depending on the calendar month. Therefore, while four weeks (28 days) is often a rough estimate used for simplicity, it doesn't precisely equal a full month. For exact calculations, it's always better to go by specific month lengths.
