-Synodic period is the period of celestial bodies observed on the moving planet(mostly earth)
Sideral period is the period comparing to the fixed stars without motion of the earth involved.

(I will explain the second question with an example, so it's easier to understand)
-For Sideral month for example of the moon it cactually complete one revolution in around 27.3 days.
However, since the earth moves, for us it took some more time to see the moon the same as before (fullmoon to fullmoon) again. That make synodic month of the moon to be around 29.5 days.

What is the most effective way to protect dry lands from desertification
Sonja [21]

Answer: Planting a tree belt.

Explanation:

The most effective method by which the desertification of the soil can be controlled is by planting more and more trees.

So, planting trees along with some irrigation will help to cope with problem.

A climber pulls herself 8 meters upwards with a force of 150 Newtons. If it takes her 16 seconds to cover the 8 meters, how much
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

 P = 75 W

Explanation:

given,

Distance, L = 8 m

Force,F = 150 N

Time, t = 16 s

Work by the climber

Work done = Force x displacement

W = F. L

W = 150 x 8

W = 1200 J

We know,

Power =\dfrac{Work\ done}{time}

P =\dfrac{1200}{16}

 P = 75 W

Hence, Power climber is using to climb is equal to 75 W.
