What are Month and Minute

In astronomy, a month is defined as the time it takes for the Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth and return to a specific point, typically new moon to new moon. This period, known as a synodic month, averages about 29.53 days. It's the basis for the lunar calendar and is critical for understanding lunar phases.

A minute is a unit of time traditionally based on the sexagesimal numerical system. One minute is equal to 60 seconds or 1/60th of an hour. In the context of sidereal time, which tracks the Earth's rotation against the stars, a sidereal minute is 1/60th of a sidereal hour, and it's slightly shorter than a standard minute.
