MOON GONG

The Sidereal month is how long the Moon takes to make one full revolution around the Earth --with respect to the background stars. Returning to its same place in relation to the sky!

But because the Earth is constantly moving as it orbits our Sun, the Moon travels slightly MORE than a full circle (360 degrees) to get from new moon to new moon. (That is the Synodic Moon Gong.)
