A little perspective
1 month lasts about 1.03 times as long as Moon phase synodic cycle.
Measurements, assumptions & sources +
1 month
A month is defined here as one twelfth of a Julian year (30.4375 days). Calendar months vary.
Moon phase synodic cycle
The mean interval between matching lunar phases is about 2,551,443 seconds, or 29.5306 days. Individual lunations vary.
The marked mean synodic month is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

- Comparing
- Time ↔ Mean synodic month
- Relative size
- 1 month is larger on this measurement by a factor of about 1.03. 1 month's selected measurement is approximately 3.07% greater than Moon phase synodic cycle's.
How to read the visual
The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.
- Moon phase synodic cycle is labelled approximate; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
