What are synodic and month

Synodic refers to the period of time it takes for a celestial body to reappear at the same point in relation to two other celestial bodies. For example, the synodic month is the time taken for the Moon to return to the same phase (e.g., full moon to full moon), as observed from Earth, which is about 29.53 days.

A month is a unit of time traditionally based on the natural period related to the motion of the Moon. Months in the Gregorian calendar vary from 28 to 31 days. The concept of a month is derived from the Moon's orbital period around Earth, traditionally marking a single complete cycle of phases.
