The 17 pages that link to Synodic month, each with the reason it gives.

• Lunar calendarBroader topic: Its length sets the duration of a month in a phase-based calendar.

• Hebrew calendarRelated: Its length explains why Hebrew months alternate between 29 and 30 days.

• Chinese calendarRelated: Chinese calendar months follow the Moon's cycle of phases.

• Lunar phaseRelated: It measures the complete cycle from one lunar phase back to the same phase.

• Lunisolar calendarRelated: Its length sets the basis for lunisolar calendar months.

• Metonic cycleRelated: Multiplying this period by 235 gives the 19-year span the cycle reconciles with the solar year.

• Lunar monthRelated: This is the precise astronomical name for the phase-to-phase interval meant by lunar month.

• Full moonRelated: Successive full moons are separated by one synodic month.

• Hindu calendarRelated: Lunar months based on phases follow this cycle.

• Sidereal monthCompared with: About 2.2 days longer, because Earth's motion around the Sun shifts the Sun's direction during each lunar orbit.

• Draconic monthCompared with: It tracks Sun–Moon alignment, not the Moon’s return to an orbital node.

• New moonRelated: It measures the time from one new moon to the next.

• Saros cycleRelated: A whole number of synodic months returns the Moon to the same phase at a Saros recurrence.

• Anomalistic monthCompared with: The longest of the lunar months; phase depends on both Moon and Sun, not on perigee position.

• Harvest MoonRelated: This cycle determines how often a full moon can fall near the equinox.

• Orbit of the MoonCompared with: It exceeds the sidereal month because Earth and Moon move together around the Sun.

• Eclipse cycleRelated: Its alignment of lunar phase with the Sun supplies the new or full moons needed for eclipses.
