For much of Dr Pepperâs history, the drink was a regional delicacy confined to the South and Southwest. Coca-Cola and Pepsi had used their head starts on Dr Pepper to build nationwide networks of independent bottlers who had exclusive franchise contracts to turn their respective syrups into colas.
The Moon Cycle. The term moon cycle (or lunar cycle) refers to the moon's continuous orbit around the earth. As the moon orbits the earth, its appearance (the phase) changes and thus gives us an indication of the moon's progress in the cycle (the age).
A synodic month is 29.53 days (29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes, 2.8 seconds) It is measured from New Moon to New Moon. This is the most common way of expressing the lunar cycle. An anomalistic month is the Moon's orbital period measured from perigee to perigee - the point in the Moon's orbit when it is closest to Earth.
