What are Day sidereal and Month synodic

A Day Sidereal, also known as a Sidereal Day, is the time it takes for the Earth to rotate once on its axis with respect to the fixed stars. This period is approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4.091 seconds. Unlike a solar day, which is measured with respect to the Sun, the sidereal day is slightly shorter due to Earth's orbit around the Sun as it spins on its axis.

A Month Synodic, commonly referred to as a Synodic Month, is the time taken for the Moon to complete one orbit around Earth and return to the same position relative to the Sun as observed from Earth. This duration defines the lunar phases we see, such as new moon to new moon, and averages about 29.53 days. The synodic month is critical for understanding the lunar calendar and its influence on cultural and religious events.
