What are Day sidereal and Month

A sidereal day is the time it takes for the Earth to complete a single rotation on its axis with respect to the celestial background or a distant star (as opposed to the Sun). This period is approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.091 seconds. It is used by astronomers to track the positions of stars and other celestial objects in the sky.

A month is a unit of time, used with calendars, that is approximately as long as a natural period related to the motion of the Moon; month and Moon are cognates. The traditional concept arose with the cycle of moon phases; such months (lunations) are synodic months and last approximately 29.53 days.
