A day is the spin of the Earth and a Year is the orbit of the Earth, but months are completely arbitrary because we (Western world) don't use Lunar cycles for months.

There's no reason we couldn't have 10 months.

You could argue that years are also arbitrary.

Yes, we follow orbital year and adjust our time to follow it, but the orbital year has meaning in anything except scientific world.

Years are also arbitrary.
