Only lunar calendars, like the Muslim calendar, and lunisolar calendars, like the Jewish calendar, are based on the phases of the moon, with each month beginning at the time of the new moon.

How long does it take for the moon to finish its circulation around Earth?
28 days. When viewed from the earth, the moon goes through phases.

These phases are shown on many Calendars, so you can refer to a calendar to study the orbit of the moon.
