What you're probably missing is that the earth makes a complete rotation around its own axis every 24 hours. The moon, making a complete rotation around the earth every 28 days, follows the earth as it rotates, therefore completing only 1/28th of a complete rotation during this 24 hour period. i.e. the earth can be between the sun and the moon roughly 12 hours after the moon has been between the sun and the earth.
By that reasoning, you must have celebrated your first birthday the day you were born.
I was 0 years old on my birth day. This means that on my 2000th birthday I will actually have lived for 2000 years and therefore be starting my 3rd millennium on that day.
Gee, I'd really hate to have this event delayed by a year.

Thanks.
If I think about things long enough to write something sensible the topic has normally disappeared to the archives.
Why, are you going to arrest me?
