Hi All,
I am trying to work some problems from my textbook. The question is as follows:
If the sidereal period of the moon is 29.0 days, what would be its synodic period?
My Steps
I have considered how far around the sun the Earth/Moon will have traveled in 29.0 days but after that I am stuck
1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
2. Relevant equations
3. The attempt at a solution
