The rate of change in the synodic month was minimal for most of the Cretaceous but has accelerated since. |
The correlation with the synodic rotation of the Sun was practically perfect. |
It is interesting to note that Venus is also closely synchronized to this 8 year period, completing five synodic periods of 584 days. |
They determined correctly within a small fraction the length of the synodic revolution of the moon. |
Why, because twenty-seven days is about the synodic period of solar rotation. |
The next Northern Maximum declinational tide July 2nd will be in phase with the inductive effects of the synodic conjunction of Jupiter peaking on July 9th. |
