Verified answer

The average length of the full cycle of moon phases ... the time between
seeing any phase and seeing the same phase again ... is 29.531 days.

I suppose that's 4.219 weeks, which is something like 4weeks 1day 12hours 45minutes.

The moon revolves around its axis and orbits Earth in exactly the same time of about

27.32 days, relative to the Sun. This causes the moon to be constantly presenting the

same face to the earth.

Just like any other sphere illuminated by any other flashlight, 50% of the moon's surface

is always illuminated by the sun. But because the relative positions are always changing,

we see different amounts of the lighted portion from earth. The complete cycle of 'phases'

as seen from earth repeats with a mean (average) interval of 29.530589 days

(29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes, 02.9 seconds).


It usually 28/29 days, i have a feeling it is 29 and a 1/4 days but it is roughly 28 days

Its Orbital period is 27 days 7 hours 43 min. This is the time it takes to orbit the earth once.

Its synodic period is 29 days 12 hours and 44 mins, this is the tome taken for the moon to get back to the same phase, slightly longer as the earth has progressed around the sun a fair amount during that time.

One lunation is usually 28 days ( 24 hour usage). sometimesd 29 days is the figure. Your Moonage may vary! by the way the Helbros firm in l969 and up for a few years later made a Moon Watch- designed by an astronomer- it was calibrated in Lunes, Lunations, and Lunours. Out of this world! one was used by The solitary navigator ( Mr. Collins) on the Apollo mission that actually landed men on the Moon! Helbros is an established Swiss watchmaker. again, get a moonwatch! your Moonage may vary!

It takes 27.3 days for the moon to make one revolution 360 degrees. However, from our perspective on Earth, it takes a bit longer for the moon to go from New moon back to New moon. This is because as the Moon is revolving around the Earth, the Earth is also revolving around the sun. So in a sense, the moon has to catch up with the Earth to get back into position. The Earth revolves around the sun at a rate of about 1 degree a day, so it has traveled 27.3 degrees by the time the moon has made one 360 degree revolution. As a result, the moon needs another 2 days in order to get into position. So from Earth's perspective it take about 29.5 days to make a full phase revolution.

The moon takes 27.32 days (rounded) to complete one full rotation on its own axis,

and also to complete one full orbital revolution around the earth.

It takes 29.5 days from full Moon to the other full Moon. That is about four weeks.
