About Sidereal Months
The sidereal month = Moon's orbital period relative to the fixed stars = 27.3217 days = 2,360,591.6 s - the shortest lunar month. It is ~2.21 days shorter than the synodic month (29.53 d) because Earth advances ~27° along its orbit in the same period; the Moon must travel further to re-align with the Sun. Used in GPS orbit design, tidal modelling, and lunar laser ranging. 1 sid.mo = 27.3217 d.
About Milliseconds
A millisecond (ms) = 10⁻³ s. Human visual reaction time 150-300 ms; auditory reaction 140-160 ms. Echo delays below ~30 ms cause Haas reinforcement; 100-500 ms are perceived as distinct echoes. One cinema frame at 24 fps = 41.7 ms; 60 fps gaming requires 16.7 ms/frame. Millisecond pulsars rotate in 1.4-30 ms. MIDI keyboard on-latency 1-3 ms. 1 ms = 10⁻³ s.
