Discover how the 'Month synodic to Day sidereal Converter' by Newtum simplifies the transformation of celestial timekeeping units, sparking your curiosity to explore more.
A month is a unit of time traditionally based on the lunar cycle, which is the period it takes for the Moon to complete one orbit around Earth and go through all its phases (new moon to new moon), averaging about 29.53 days. This lunar month, or 'synodic month', is used in many calendars.
Definition of DayA day, specifically a solar day, is defined as the period of time it takes for the Earth to complete one rotation on its axis with respect to the Sun, which averages 24 hours. A sidereal day, on the other hand, is the time it takes for Earth to rotate once relative to the background stars, which is approximately 23 hours, 56 minutes, and 4 seconds.
