About Synodic Months
A synodic (lunar) month = new moon to new moon = 29.5306 days = 2,551,442.9 s. Longer than the sidereal month (27.32 d) because Earth advances ~27° in its orbit during that time; the Moon must travel further to realign with the Sun. Islamic Hijri, Hebrew lunisolar, and Chinese calendars are built on synodic months. Eclipses repeat via the Saros cycle (18 yr 11 d = 223 synodic months). 1 syn.mo ≈ 29.5306 d.
About Gregorian Years
The Gregorian year = exactly 365.2425 days = 31,556,952 s (mean over the 400-year cycle with 97 leap years). The Julian calendar (45 BCE) used 365.25 days; Gregorian reform (1582) dropped 10 days and amended the centennial rule. Britain adopted it in 1752; Greece in 1923. Carbon-14 dates are reported in 'years BP' (before 1950 CE). 1 yr = 365.2425 d = 8,765.82 h = 31,556,952 s.
