The lunar period refers to the length of time it takes for the moon to complete a full cycle of its phases, roughly 29.5 days. This cycle includes the phases of the moon such as new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter.
A lunar month is the period of time between new or full moons.
The period is called a "lunar year" or "lunisolar year." It is used in many calendars to reconcile the difference between the length of a lunar month and a solar year.
The period of approximately 11 days between the solar and lunar year is known as the epact. It is used in calculating the date of Easter in the Christian calendar.
The period of difference between the lunar and solar year is called the epact. This is the time it takes for the moon to return to the same phase relative to the sun, which is approximately 19 solar years.
29.5 days is approximately one lunar month, also known as a synodic month. This period represents the time it takes for the Moon to complete its phases, from one new moon to the next.

Lunar Cycle
A month is a somewhat arbitrary period of time that loosely approximates the period of one lunar cycle.
It takes 10 lunar months. ( Surprizingly menses take one lunar month.)
The period of approximately 11 days between the solar and lunar year is known as the epact. It is used in calculating the date of Easter in the Christian calendar.
The iddah period after the death of a husband is typically four lunar months and ten days.
Epact
No. During the 5000-year period 2000 BCE to 3000 CE, there have been / will be a total of 12,064 lunar eclipses ... an average of about 2.4 per year. During the 10-year period 2001 to 2010, there are 24 lunar eclipses ... also 2.4 per year. There were 3 lunar eclipses in 2001, and 4 lunar eclipses in 2009. December 21, 2010 is/was the second lunar eclipse of 2010. So over the long term, you're looking at between 2 and 3 lunar eclipses every year.
For a period of time it stayed in lunar orbit, however, that orbit eventually decayed and the ascent stage crashed onto the moon.
The period of difference between the lunar and solar year is called the epact. This is the time it takes for the moon to return to the same phase relative to the sun, which is approximately 19 solar years.
