Working as a zookeeper requires you to be passionate about animals and wildlife conservation. You often spend more time with the animals than other zoo employees, getting to know their habits and personalities. This helps you determine when the animals are healthy or whether they need veterinary care, a vital role of primary caregivers.
So on average the number of days between two similar phases (e.g. between one full moon and the next full moon) is about 29.531 days. This period is referred to as a lunation, lunar month, or synodic month.
Lunar eclipses can occur only when the full moon occurs near the two nodes of the orbit, either the ascending or descending node. This causes eclipses to only occur about every 6 months, and often 2 weeks before or after a solar eclipse at new moon at the opposite node. The time interval between similar lunar phasesâthe synodic monthâaverages about 29.53 days.
