The synodic month (Greek: συνοδικός, romanized: synodikós, meaning "pertaining to a synod, i.e., a meeting"; in this case, of the Sun and the Moon), also lunation, is the average period of the Moon's orbit with respect to the line joining the Sun and Earth: 29 (Earth) days, 12 hours, 44 minutes and 2.9 seconds. [5]
Since each lunation is approximately 29 + 1 ⁄ 2 days, [1] it is common for the months of a lunar calendar to alternate between 29 and 30 days. Since the period of 12 such lunations, a lunar year , is 354 days, 8 hours, 48 minutes, 34 seconds (354.36707 days), [ 1 ] purely lunar calendars are 11 to 12 days shorter than the solar year .
Where is the 2024 solar eclipse path of totality in Texas? According to TravelTexas , the path of totality will begin before 1:30 p.m. near Del Rio, TX, and trace a line northwest across the ...
A total solar eclipse will be passing over a swath of the United States in 2024 and parts of Indiana will have lucky cities with front-row seats.
April 8, 2024 at 6:43 AM Nasa has released a new map showing the path along the US – stretching from Texas to Maine – from where the total solar eclipse will be visible on 8 April 2024.
Each complete cycle of phases is called a "lunation". [7] The approximate age of the Moon, and hence the approximate phase, can be calculated for any date by calculating the number of days since a known new moon (such as 1 January 1900 or 11 August 1999) and reducing this modulo 29.53059 days (the mean length of a synodic month).
