Editing Orbital period (section)

=== Relative synodic periods ===
{{original research|section|date = January 2025}}
The concept of synodic period applies not just to the Earth, but also to other planets as well;{{cn|date=January 2025}} the computation of synodic periods applies the same formula as above.{{cn|date=January 2025}} The following table lists the synodic periods of some planets relative to each the [[Sun]] and each other:{{or|date=January 2025}}{{cn|date=January 2025}}

<!--- The Earth-synodic period can also be calculated, but it varies with the planet's position with respect to the Earth;{{cn}} in the Deimos example, at Mars opposition the Earth-synodic period would be about 1.2604&nbsp;d because Earth's motion overtakes Mars.{{cn}} At Mars conjunction, Deimos's Earth-synodic period would be 1.2692 d because Earth's motion now accentuates Mars' apparent motion.{{cn}} Since the Earth--extra-planetary moon synodic period reflects Earth-planet-moon alignments, it is fairly meaningless.{{cn}} --->
