About Months
A mean Gregorian calendar month = 365.2425 ÷ 12 = 30.436875 days = 2,629,746 s exactly (averaged over the 400-year cycle with exactly 97 leap years). Individual months have 28-31 days. Loan schedules, subscriptions, and mobile billing reference 'per month', requiring explicit agreement on meaning. ISO 8601 uses 'P1M'. 1 mo = 30.436875 d = 2,629,746 s.
About Sidereal Days
A sidereal day = Earth's rotation period relative to the stars = 23 h 56 min 4.0905 s = 86,164.0905 s - ~3 min 56 s shorter than the 24 h solar day because Earth advances ~1° in its orbit each day. Equatorial telescope mounts rotate at one turn per sidereal day to track stars. VLBI, GPS orbit determination, and polar-motion monitoring use sidereal rotation as their reference. 1 sid. day = 86,164.0905 s.
