In this research study the synodic month for the moon and theirrelationship with the mean anomaly for the moon orbit and date A.Dand for long periods of time (100 years), we was design a computerprogram that calculates the period of synodic months, and thecoordinates of the moon at the moment of the new moon with highaccuracy. During the 100 year, there are 1236 period of synodicmonths.We found that the when New Moon occurs near perigee (meananomaly = 0°), the length of the synodic month at a minimum.Similarly, when New Moon occurs near apogee (mean anomaly =180°), the length of the synodic month reaches a maximum. Theshortest synodic month on 2053 /1/ 16 and lasted (29.27436) days.The longest synodic month began on 2008 /11/ 27 and lasted(29.81442) days. The mean synodic month (29.53109) days. Wefound the relationship between synodic month with months. Theshortest synodic month are correlated with date (June and July) whenthe Earth is near aphelion. And the longest Synodic month arecorrelated with date (December and January) when the Earth is nearperihelion.
