(1) No light reflects from the moon when a new moon occurs. I am giving the name sliver to the first light of the moon that shines right after the sun sets. A sliver of moonlight last one day. The width of moonlight will be 2 slivers wide after 2 days. There are 7 days from the first sliver of the waxing crescent to the first quarter moon, and therefore 7 slivers are within this time frame. From the first quarter moon to the full moon, there are 7 slivers. From the full moon to the third quarter moon, there are 7 slivers. From the third quarter moon to the last sliver of a waning crescent before a new moon, there are 7 slivers. This is where the week of 7 days and a month of four weeks can be seen. So, there are 28 days of light. A month last 29.53 days and is from one new moon to the next new moon. The extra 1.5 days of the month, the Moon can not be seen by the naked eye, when light from the moon is not reflected toward the Earth during what most people call a new moon.
(2) The sun and moon appear to be the same size, which is why a solar ecilpse can occur. I am giving the name sun diameter or moon diameter to the apparent width of the sun or moon as seen standing on Earth.
(3) The shortest days of the year around the winter solstice (12 / 21) are 10 hours and 4 minutes long from Sunrise to Sunset in Jerusalem. (From 12 / 20-22)
(4) The longest days of the year around the summer solstice (06 / 21) are 14 hours and 14 minutes long from Sunrise to Sunset in Jerusalem. (From 6 / 17-22)
(5) Seven days (1 week) of daylight during the shortest days during winter would amount to 7 x 10 hours and 4 minutes (7 x 604 minutes) = 70 hours and 28 minutes (4228 minutes) of daylight. Seven days (1 week) of daylight during the longest summer days would amount to 7 x 14 hours and 14 minutes (7 x 854 minutes) = 99 hours and 38 minutes (5978 minutes) of daylight.
(6) 5978 minutes of a week of the longest summer days divided by 604 minutes of the shortest winter days = 9.9 days (5978 / 604 =9.9). So, a 7 day week of daylight during summer is like a 10 day week using the amount of daylight during a winter days.
(7) A lunar month is an average 29.53 days long (new moon to new moon). (29.53 x 854 [the amount of minutes in a long summer day]) = 25218.62 minutes of a month of the longest summer days divided by 604 minutes of the shortest day = 41.75 days. So, a 30 day month of daylight during summer has 40 days worth of sunlight if you are using the amount of daylight in one day of winter. This means a month has 30 days as defined by the amount of time it takes the moon to go around the earth, but a month can also have 40 days as defined by the amount of light that occurs during the month of summer closest to the summer solstice.
(8) To show better perfection: The shortest lunar month is 29 days 6 hours 35 minutes. So a month could have 29 days of daylight with the other 6 hours 35 minutes being during the nighttime (or even more, up to 9 hours 46 minutes, which is the amount of nighttime during summer). The exact amount of daylight in 29 days before or after the summer solstice in Jerusalem is 410 hours (05/24 to 06/21 = 410 hours 1 minute) & (06/21 to 07/19 = 409 hours 44 minutes). The exact amount of daylight in 40 days before or after the winter solstice in Jerusalem is 410 hours (11/12 to 12/21 = 410 hours 30 minutes) & (12/21 to 01/29 = 410 hours 5 minutes). So, 29 day summer months are really 40 days long in winter daylight.
(9) A solar year has 365.24258 days. A lunar year has 354.36 days (29.53 days x 12 months = 354.36). The lunar year is 10.88258 days shorter than the solar year. A 13th leap month is added to the lunar year to keep up with the solar year. A leap month is added every 2.7135 years (29.53 / 10.88258 = 2.7135) or every 991 days. (The blue moon is the same concept with a full moon.)
(10) A 13th leap month is added every 991 days & a blue moon is added every 991 days [with this blue moon being added 495.5 days after the leap month was added]. The full moon is in the middle of a lunar month. Blue moons are also added in the middle of leap months. (991 / 2 = 495.5) Every 495.5 days alternating blue moons or leap months are added to the lunar year.
(11) A sliver of light from the moon lasts 1 day, but on the chart a sliver represents a month. With a month equal to 28 days of light, a sliver representing a month of the Sun or Moon can be divided into 28 equal sub-slivers which are each called the "Blink of the Eye." (See the Eye)
(12) It is through our eyes that we see light. A blink of the eyes moves us from light to darkness and back to light again. This small measurement of time last 0.1-0.4 seconds on average (See Blink). During the Equinox there is 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness for everyone on Earth. The Earth is also about 1 AU from the Sun around both equinoxes with the Sun's diameter 0.53 degrees of the sky. This makes 337.62 Sun diameters during the daylight hours on the equinox. A 12 hour day has 43,200 seconds. If we divide 43,200 by 337.62, we get 127.992 seconds for a sun diameter. We can divide the sun diameter by 14 slivers and then by 28 sub-slivers to get 0.3265 seconds for the "Blink of the Eye." Around 04/10 (21 days after the spring equinox) 360 Sun diameters of 128 seconds fit into the daylight hours of the day. The holidays of Pesach (Passover), Chag HaMatzot (Feast of Unleavened Bread), and Yom HaBikkurim (Day of First-fruits / Resurrection Sunday) are happening at this time.
