    The same is true (to an even larger extent) for the Moon's orbit around Earth. Because of these two variations in angular rate, the actual time between lunations may vary from about 29.27 to about 29.83 days. [citation needed] [6] The average duration in modern times is 29.53059 days with up to seven hours variation about the mean in any given ...
