Lunar month:
In lunar month there are 30 days each day is called as tithi.
Tithi in nothing but difference between longitude of moon and that of sun.
When sun and moon are at same longitude on one lunar month starts. Which include 30 days/tithis.
1st thithi = 12 deg deference betn sun and moon longitudes
2nd tithi = 24 deg deference betn sun and moon longitudes
..
..so on.
30th tithi is where diff. between moon and sun is 360 deg., where moon catches sun again and starts new lunar month.
Again lunar month divided into 2 pakshas.
Sukla paksha and Krishna paksha.
In sukla paksha ,moon is ahead of sun upto 180 deg. Also called waxing moon.
In krisha paksha ,moon ahead of sun between 180 to 360 deg. also called as wanning moon.
from 1st -15th tithi included in sukla paksha.
remaing from 16th-30th included in krishna paksha.
