These words are on the plastic papers on your desks  Lunar (Synodic) Month –  Sidereal Month –  Occultation –

The hiding of a star when the Moon passes between the Earth and the star Position of the moon on the first evening, resulting in the occultation of a distant star Occultation sidereal 27.3 position of the Moon on the next evening: 13 degree difference Same star occulted for the second time, after Moon has revolved 360 degrees; this occurs 27.3 days after the star was first occulted

New Moon to New Moon lunar 29.5 Moon out of position on the next day New Moon phase New Moon-at this point, the Moon has completed a lunar month which equals 29.5 days +2.2 days 27.3 days: at this point, the Moon has revolved 360 degrees in its orbit and has completed a sidereal month

What do we base our monthly calendar on?  a. Lunar Month  b. Sidereal Month  c. Both a & b  d. Neither a or b
