<table>The full analysis on revisiting time on the Earth’s surface during a whole Metonic cycle from 2015 to 2034. The relationship between the latitudes and the revisiting times is implemented by the epoch times of (a) 12:00, July 1, 2015, (b) 12:00, July 1, 2018, (c) 12:00, July 1, 2021, (d) 12:00, July 1, 2024, (e) 12:00, July 1, 2027, (f) 12:00, July 1, 2030, and (g) 12:00, July 1, 2033.</table>
