lunar day  nounThe interval of time between two successive crossings of the meridian by the moon (roughly 24 hours and 50 minutes).Thus their ‘day’ would not be based on the movement of the Sun, a 24-hour cycle, but rather a lunar day, lasting 24 hours and 50 minutes....- The length of the lunar day is thus identical to the length of its revolution around Earth.
- Based on lunar day of 24 hrs 50 minutes, will provide accurate indication of tide cycle.
