Alternate Usage
The term lunar day may also refer to the period between moonrises in a particular location on Earth. This period is typically slightly longer than a 24-hour Earth day, as the Moon revolves around the Earth in the same direction as the Earth's axial rotation.

Famous quotes containing the words alternate and/or usage:
“I alternate between reading cook books and reading diet books.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don’t are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn’t put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a lesbian.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)
