Lunar Data Comparison 3 – Sidereal vs
... The time period of this model is equivalent to the prior models sidereal period, which has already been shown to equate to 360 degrees plus 50 arc seconds. The reason this model can show the Earth moving in a larger orbit and still come out to 360 degrees is because this model only contains sidereal ...
