'The Moon: an hour-by-hour Time Lapse Visualization for a Full Year!'

Not allowed to post links hence posting the title.

You will be able to see

1. size varies only slightly (almost unnoticable). It varies because moon has elliptical orbit

2. phase changes like a sine wave. From full to dark to full and again full

3. The moon shifts its location along a straight line every day a little. Because angular speed of earth and moon is different.

You are at sea on a foggy night. You are trying to find out how far you are from the shore, but the fog is too thick to see anything and your GPS receiver is not working. After a certain time of aimless sailing, you dimly hear two separate foghorns on your port (left) side, perpendicular to your direction of travel. Each foghorn emits a short blast of sound at a pitch of 120 Hz every 2.00 s exactly, and...

-Which TWO of the following statements are CORRECT with respect to the synodic period of the moon? The synodic and sidereal periods would still be different lengths of time if the Earth did not revolve around the sun and was stationary in space with respect to the sun. The synodic period of the moon is easy to observe if you are so inclined. The synodic period equals 27.3 days. The synodic period of the moon is equal to one rotation...
