The Moon orbits the Earth once every 27.32 days, but it orbits in the same direction as the Earth turns (counter-clockwise seen from the north pole). The Earth is also changing its position with regard to the Sun. So it takes another 2.21 solar days (Earth spins) to complete the synodic month.
What else can I help you with?
Approximately how long does it take for the moon to complete all of it phases?
It takes the moon 29 days 12 hours and 44 minutes to complete all its phases.
How many days the moon takes to complete a revolution and all 8 phases?
It takes about 28-30 days.
What is the average time in days between the moon phases?
the moon takes 28 days to complete all of it's phases and there are 8 phases so each phase lasts for 3.5 days
How long does it take for one complete cycle of the moon 's phases?
It takes about 27 days for the moon to return to it's same position with respect to the Earth, however since the Earth also orbits the sun the moon has to travel around the Earth for about 29 days for it to complete one lunar month.
How many days does it take for the moon to go through a cycle of phrases?
About twenty nine and one half days. (It's phases, not phrases).
What is the average time (in days) between phases?
the moon takes 28 days to complete all of it's phases and there are 8 phases so each phase lasts for 3.5 days
How long does it take the moon to complete its phases?
The lunar cycle requires about 29 1/2 days (29.531 days). This is longer than the actual time it takes to orbit the Earth and to make a complete rotation (which are the same time). This is because the Earth and Moon are orbiting the Sun, the light from which is reflected by the Moon and observed on Earth.29.53 days29.53 days
How long does it takes the moon to complete a waxing and waning motion?
The moon completes an entire cycle of all of its phases in 29.53 days.
Why does the moon reapeat phases every 29.5 days when even though it orbits Earth every 27.3 days?
The moon's phases repeat every 29.5 days because it takes that long for the moon to complete a full cycle of phases, from new moon to new moon. The 27.3 days is the amount of time it takes for the moon to orbit Earth, but the change in position relative to the sun causes the phases to take slightly longer.
How long does a complete moon phase take?
The cycle of the moon's phases runs 29.53 days.
Why does it take 14 days for a half a moon?
Because it takes the moon 29.53 days to go through the complete cycle of all of its phases, and half of that time is 14.77 days. (rounded)
How long does it take for one complete cycle of moon's phases to occur?
One complete cycle of the moon's phases, from new moon to full moon and back to new moon, takes about 29.5 days. This period is known as a lunar cycle or a synodic month.
