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 Weeks

A week (wk) = exactly 7 days = 604,800 s. The 7-day week derives from Babylonian astronomy assigning one of the seven classical celestial bodies to each day - preserved in English (Sun-day, Mon-day, Satur-day) and Romance language day names. It spread globally via Jewish, Christian, and Islamic calendars. ISO 8601 numbers weeks 1-52(53) with Monday as day 1. 365-day years contain 52 weeks + 1 day. 1 wk = 7 d = 604,800 s.
