The sidereal month is the time between maximum elevations of a fixed star as seen from the . In 1994-1998, it was 27.321662 days.

It takes a sidereal month to complete its cycle rather than the year long trek of the Sun. This is further complicated as the lunastices marking the limits of the Moon's movement move on an 18.6 year cycle.
The anomalistic month is the mean time taken by the moon in passing from one perigee to the next; the sidereal month is the mean time in which the moon makes a circuit among the stars; ...
This is called a sidereal month, and reflects the corresponding orbital period of 27.3 days The moon takes 29.
The synodic period of the moon, which is called the lunar month, or lunation, is 291/2 days long; it is longer than the sidereal month. The moon is full when it is at opposition.
322 days, the sidereal month. Because the whole system is moving around the Sun once per year, the angle of illumination changes about one degree per day, so that the time from one full Moon to the next is 29.531 days, the synodic month.
In one sidereal month, the Earth travels about (.985 degrees per day) x (27.321 days) = 26.91 degrees along its orbit around the Sun. The Moon moves at a speed of about 13.17 degrees per day.
This is known as the sidereal month. However, during one sidereal month, the Earth has revolved part way around the Sun, making the average time between one new moon and the next longer than the sidereal month: it is approximately 29.5 days.
The sidereal month is the amount of time it takes the Moon to return to the same position in the sky with respect to the stars; the sidereal month is 27.321 days long. The synodic month is the time between similar lunar phases (e.g.
3 days (a sidereal month) and an orbital speed of approximately 1 km s-1.
Month, Tropical. The time taken for the Moon to return to the same celestial longitude (7 seconds shorter than the sidereal month).
SYNODIC
Synodic means pertaining to two successive conjunctions of celestial bodies. For example, a synodic month is the time between successive new moons (29,531 days). The synodic month is is slightly longer than a sidereal month.
