An almanac is a yearly publication that provides a collection of up-to-date facts on one or more topics. It contains details such as weather predictions, farmer planting schedules, tidal tables, and other tabular data frequently organized in accordance with the calendar.

Almanacs include celestial facts and data, such as the Sun and Moon's rising and setting times, eclipse dates, high and low tide timings, and religious holidays. An almanac's list of events may be customized for a particular audience, such as farmers, sailors, or astronomers.
