About Anomalistic Months
The anomalistic month = interval between successive Moon perigees = 27.5546 days = 2,380,713.2 s. Slightly longer than the sidereal month because the Moon's perigee precesses, completing one revolution in ~8.85 years. Governs 'supermoons': a full moon at perigee appears ~14% wider and 30% brighter. Tidal forces at perigee are ~30% stronger than at apogee. 1 anom.mo = 27.5546 d.
About Minutes
A minute (min) = exactly 60 s, inherited from Babylonian sexagesimal astronomy. Medieval astronomers named the sixtieth part of a degree 'pars minuta prima' (hence minute); its sixtieth 'pars minuta secunda' (hence second). Running performance is expressed in min/km or min/mile; music tempo in BPM (beats per minute, ~40-220); angles in degrees-minutes-seconds (DMS). 1 min = 60 s = 1/60 h.
