History & Origin : The concept of a synodic month comes from ancient lunar calendars. Civilizations such as the Babylonians, Chinese, and Islamic cultures measured time by moon phases. The synodic month was one of the earliest defined time intervals and predates solar-based calendars by thousands of years.

They also serve in scientific studies of the Moon’s orbit, eclipses, tidal patterns, and time-sensitive natural events such as animal migration or agricultural planting.
