True - you might also want to note, for the sake of more precise
calculations, the actual duration of the synodic period in which the moon
waxes and wanes through its phases [29.5 days], although admittedly, it
takes it a shorter -sidereal- period [27.3 days] to make a complete
360-degree orbit around Earth.
