Is the calculation of solar movement more exact than the calculation of the lunar movement?
Calculation for the movement of the Moon is as accurate as that of the Sun. However, the Sun, being a source of light, can be seen easily, while the Moon, which does not have any light of its own, can only be seen when the Sun is in such a position that its light falling on the Moon can come to the earth. Many a time the Moon may be above horizon, but it cannot be seen because the Sun is in such a position that its rays coming to the Moon do not make a sufficient thickness of crescent to be seen from earth.
