Synodic Lunar Month 3D Explorer vs alternatif
This explorer shows why the synodic month (29.5 d) is longer than the sidereal month (27.3 d) - Moon Phases 3D shows the phase shapes themselves; Moon Calendar 3D maps phases onto calendar dates.
| Option | Strength | Access | Trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Synodic Lunar Month 3D (this page) | Why 27.3 d orbit becomes a 29.5 d month | Free, in browser | Sped up, not to scale |
| Moon Phases 3D sibling | The shapes of the phases | Free web | Does not show the two-month gap |
| Moon Calendar 3D sibling | Phases on calendar dates | Free web | Not the orbital cause |
